Inde Du Sud - Sifflet Sivaprasad Label: Cinq Planètes CD No. CP03112 1999 £9.99 Band from: India Genre: Folk/Classical
Review
This CD is part of the Cinq Planètes series - an out of standards collection dedicated to exceptional musicians.
The sleeve notes say "The whistling wizard from Andhra Pradesh" and "India's Papageno".
But that is pretty accurate. K Sivaprasad whistles Carnatic classical music. It is, perhaps to westerners, curious, amusing and novel. It is, once you've listened to it, quite hypnotic. Here he is accompanied by violin, percussion and jew's harp.
