Description: | On September 26 1992, Baluji Shrivastav performed his production entitled 'Portraits of the Dark' at the South Bank Centre in London. These programme notes provide background explanations to each of the scenes in the production, which depicts the dramatic stages of Baluji's life as a blind musician. Through the musical journey of this performance, which fused Indian classical music with jazz and Arabic music, Baluji aimed to convey to sighted people what it is like to be a blind musician. Baluji composed 'Portraits of the Dark', and was accompanied by fellow musicians Mick Ripsher on tabla, Stephen Bull on violin, Sanyogita Kumari on Indian vocals, Linda Shanovitch on Western vocals, Clive Bell on the flute, and Tristram Llewellyn on the Synthesiser. | Subjects: | Fusion Musicians Document Contemporary music | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Creator: South Bank Centre Associated Person/Organisation: Shrivastav, Baluji | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=4739... | Go to resource |
