Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu has been one of the best drummers in the world for many years. Like no other, this Bombay-born musician builds bridges between Eastern and Western music styles and musical techniques. He works with a variety of musicians and mixes classical Indian, pop, jazz and funk music styles into an inspiring eclectic whole. For his eleventh album Broken Rhythms, Gurtu mainly
… invited Indian singers and musicians. To this he added very special guest musicians: the legendary guitarist Gary Moore, the classical Arke String Quartet and the Tuvan ensemble Huun Huur Tu. Indian rhythms and vocals, electric guitar riffs, classical strings and magical overtone vocals. With Broken Rhythms Gurtu once again amazes the listener at how fruitful such a cross-pollination between Asian, Western popular and classical music can be. Swinging, exotic and always surprising!
