Ever since July of 2006 when we first introduced a live snippet from Bismillah Khan, the world's greatest master of the shenai, people have been hungry for more, especially since Bismillah died, at age 90, a month after our initial post. Bismillah Khan was a living embodiment of Indian spiritual secularism; he was a Muslim who respected and even loved Hinduism. Tonight's selction is "Thumri in Raga Khamaj," which we hope helps you feel peace in your soul.
