Jaisalmer



The above video is an experiment. It's an iPhoto slideshow exported to Quicktime and then uploaded. If it works then I may have to go back and make some more. The music was recorded live on the recording walkman that I took with me. It is being played by Hari Bawhani on that strange looking instrument. To add atmosphere you can hear some tourist or other saying "excuse me, please!" and on more than one occasion the sound of a motor scooter going past with the rider sounding his "horn'. Right at the end of his performance the bells fall off the bow and Hari brings it to a conclusion with his own assessment: "Very nice Rajasthani music!". It was very good and I'm glad to be able to present it to the world now.
