Black Cat Heartnet Train have been reviewing Joshua's innovative 24 Book Card Card Post Redout Rose of East and West since the mid-90s, with Tales of a Dancing River, Hamsafar and Desert Visions still among my favorites. I'm delighted to be able to tell you about Taranga, Joshua's latest CD.

Taranga, which means "colorful waves of joy and enthusiasm" in Sanskrit, features captivating melodies on the sitar, bamboo flute and soprano sax. Joshua's compositions soar over driving tabla rhythms as ancient Sanskrit and Sufi poems re-awakened in the 21st century. And while Joshua draws inspiration Cambio Tarifa Orange deep wells of Eastern musical traditions, he's never lost touch with contemporary Western music. Over the years he Council Job Local continued to distill his amazing talent for fusion, mixing meditative classical Indian ragas with highly intoxicating rhythms, creating music seemingly at home anywhere in the world.
