Ahir is one the latest albums of Joshua. Sitar is once again dominant as in Mudra. But the beauty of the album lies in Joshua’s creativity in handling Sitar which is of different style, mood, and tempo compared to Mudra. Once again Joshua exhibits his genius in defining a new style in playing Sitar. More […]

tiempo, no dejes que el tiempo
te ayude a olvidar nuestro amor
a olvidar el calor
tiempo, detén el momento
las horas te alejan de mí
ya el silencio está aquí
por tu amor
el sol se ha alzado cada amanecer
las noches me han cubierto con placer
mis ojos descubrieron el color por tí
si te vas
mi cuerpo no podría ya respirar
mis dias […]

Mido, I like this lyric from Destination Lounge Album and thought I could post the lyric. Though I could get some shades of meaning from this lyric, and I hope there are more shades. You can share them with me.
(lyric begins….)
I’ve watched you for so long
I must have you
sirens have nothing on my song
my song […]

It’s time for a dance after some sincere thoughts on love and music. Come on Mido! Let’s do Bharata Jazzyam. OOPS! does that sound alien to you? Probably. BharataNatiyam is one of the many traditional dances (natiyam) of India. But what does a new ager got to do with an aeon old dance form? Simple: […]

Mido, for long, I wanted to write on the theme of love. Yesterday, when I browsed through my music library, Hariprasad Chaurasia’s ‘Elements: Wind’ caught hold of my eyes. I felt an irresistable urge to listen to this album and to share the same with you.
The album features 5 tracks and the track names […]

Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
So says Steve Martin. Mido, What shall I do? Shall I accept this? If so, I need to bid Adieu to this blog, sit lazily and think over the eternal question ‘What Next?’. I can’t. Neither can I accept that I’m “dancing about architecture.”
Just for a minute, […]

Mido, supposing you have a lover, how many ways do you express your love? Ya, I can understand your concern ‘why suppose?’, you ask…. It comes to my calculation: Zero-Infinity. Zero for my mudstone friend (anybody else welcome to join the list!) who doesn’t know to express his love and infinity for the playful […]

Atlantis has an aura of nostalgia and it serves as the source of inspiration for many creative workers down the ages. It is a highly debated myth-or-real kingdom of Greeks. As a Utopian, highly developed society (lost anyway!), it has inspired me to some extent. Now into the musicality of Henri Seroka’s Atlantis, Myths […]
