"I love the CD and enjoy very much listening to it!

I love the rhythms and beat and mix of the steel drums calypso/Caribbean music! I do not know if any of this makes sense to a professional musician, however, just know that I am not from the Caribbean and DO Love the CD!"

Really heard the music for the first time. MAGNIFICENT. MUNGAL HAS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. I will blend his music into my random selections for the office.

"Mungal Patasar, a Trinidadian sitarist, joins forces with a great band of Trinidadian steel drummers as well as his own son, who plays the tablas. Trinidad is known for its calypso and soca music, as well as reggae, each of which appears in fine form here. What makes this album unusual is Patasar's ability to integrate the sitar into these Caribbean music forms and to interact with the steel drummers to create harmonies and melodies unlike anything ever produced on any album. Patasar studied classical sitar in India for many years and employs his knowledge of the instrument to bend traditions. The Steel drummers also appear in good shape here, and provide a taste of what can be done with the "steel pan"--a multitimbral percussion instrument invented in Trinidad decades ago."

“ Imagine the blending of two of the most unique acoustic instruments; the ancient sitar of classical Indian music and the only acoustic instrument invented in the twentieth century, the steel-pan, originally crafted by Trinidadians in the forties from oil-drums. Now add the intricate rhythms of the tabla, combining with the subtlety of a jazz drummer or the dynamics of an African percussionist. Mix in calypso melodies derived from Africa and Europe, complimented by classical Indian Ragas: bouncing Reggae motifs carried by keyboard and Bass and melodic infusions of saxophone. In the final stage stir all of this with generous improvisations. Now you have the sound of Pantar.”
