Modern Jazz Meets Classic Golden-Era Bollywood Songs
On Namaskar, acclaimed percussionist Sameer Gupta combines well known compositions from the Indian Golden Era of Bollywood, North and South India Ragas, and modern American jazz in all its diversity, to craft an irresistibly beautiful artistic statement. Namaskar musically embodies the integrative spirit of our time. An original musical voice in jazz, world, and fusion music, Sameer Gupta is known as one of the few percussionists representing the traditions of American Jazz on drumset, and Indian Classical music on tabla.
