Indian Talas - Nikhil Ghosh (1918-1995) & Raja Chattrapati Singh (1919-1998) - Unesco Collection - Musical Atlas - LP released in Italy in 1983


Here a rather rare LP with the great Tabla master Nikhil Ghosh (1918-1995) and his sons Nayan Ghosh (born 1956) (Tabla) and Dhruba Ghosh (born 1957) (Sarangi). In addition the LP has two tracks by the great Pakhawaj master Raja Chattrapati Singh (1919-1998).
I still remember vividly a concert of Nikhil Ghosh with his very young sons, playing Sitar and Sarangi, in Cologne on 21st of november 1978. Today both sons are very well known musicians.

Thanks for your great blog. Unfortunately, I tried several times to download Arjun Shejwal and Indian Talas - Nikhil Ghosh but it does not work. The file stops at 321 ...

oh! this is very weird, also this wave file stops exactly at 320, I wonder which problem could be, bc it never happens with your files and also in general, thank you again

Thank you so much for this recording. So little out there from the great master Raja Chattrapati Singh. Especially wonderful to have a Jhaptala solo by him.
