Musical Garlands: Ragamala at WCMA

Devesh, Veena

In this brief video, Professor of Music W. Anthony Sheppard sets the stage with an overview of Indian music then draws connections between ragas and their visual expression in paint. Musicians Veena (in photo) and Devesh Chandra demonstrate these intricate relationships on sitar and tabla and conclude with a live performance of a raga.
