Two Indian classical musicians and two Scottish traditional musicians combine
their influences to play music which shows that there are no boundaries between
them. Starting with Reels and Ragas they have developed, over the past few years,
a sound which reflects the broad common ground between their traditions. Many
raga gats (themes), particularly those from the borders of the Himalayas, have close
relatives in the melodies of the Scottish highlands and islands, and for both of them
the drone sounds of the bagpipes or the tampura play an important part in the
music.
