I promised a "Titanic Overture" smile emoticon.... I am this poor Iyer lad raised in an Anglo-India Community… so you see…. music has a key role in my life.
I had an identity crisis both at home where the “mamas” and “mamis” hum a tune and ask for the ragam and on the streets where I not only needed to know that the “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” was sung by “Iron Maiden” but was also that it was the longest poetry work in English, done by Sam Coleridge, and this chap was seeing Wordsworth’s sister!!! … yeah and no internet!!!!
I present my saviors of the time… three blokes called John, Viku and Zakir who probably were the pioneers of Fusion Music… but this one is the newer version which has in it this new (old) Kushti-Pehelwan from an "Akhada" in Ilahabad called Hariprasad Chaurisia.
