New Classical Music of South Asia collection

“Why not join a sitar lesson in Jaipur? Or meander into the beautiful temple city of Chennai?”

This month, we’re thrilled to share our brand new 30-minute collection of classical music from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and beyond! Paying equal attention to more established as well as lesser-known examples, this collection offers a fresh and progressive take on classical music from South Asia.
