Indian classical music originated from the Indian subcontinent and was divided into two traditions in the 12th century. The north Indian style is called Hindustāni and the south is known as Carnatic. This album features beautiful rāgas from the Hindustani classical traditionn, skilfully performed on the Indian bansuri (bamboo flute) by Ronu Majumdar.

Indian classical music, rich in historical tradition and practiced in a disciplined manner, is appreciated by many for its meditative and uplifting nature. Some believe that its emotive effects can be therapeutic, healing and even encourage creativity.
