This is a rare opportunity to see one of the most innovative and successful traditional music fusions. India Alba are Indian classical musicians Sharat Srivastava (violin) and Gyan Singh (tablas, percussion) and Scottish traditional musicians Ross Ainslie (border pipes, whistles, cittern) and Nigel Richard (cittern). Many raga gats (themes), particularly those from the borders of the Himalayas, have close relatives in the melodies of the Scottish highlands and islands, and for both, the drone sounds of the bagpipes or tampura play an important role.
