Description : "SONA RUPA CD: Mystical flute of the rapidly rising young maestro Rakesh Chaurasia, nephew and disciple of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, journeys through the physical senses of our world evoking the sounds of Mountains, Valleys, Hills, Rivers and the Seas. The five Dhuns on this album are derived from classical raags, the tunes being composed to loosely link into landscape and natural geographical features in terms of suggesting certain sounds. All five are in the dadra taal (six-beat cycle) and are performed without a break to suggest the perpetual, unending sound of nature. The continuous unchanging rhythm is designed to sustain a mood of meditation. Another refreshing and meditative album by Rakesh Chaurasia. Features:Sounds of the Mountains Raag Pahadi 13:17, Sounds of the Valley Raag Khamaj 12:52, Sounds of the Hills Raag Desh 11:57, Sounds of the River Raag Pilu 13:55, Sounds of the Seas 13:59 "
