SAMYO’s new CD, TEN, is now on sale!
Director of SAMYO, Alok Nayak, introduces the inspiration and concept behind SAMYO’s second album:
“In celebrating our 10 year anniversary, we wanted to look back at how our music had evolved over the years, and look forward to how we might embrace the future. This album remembers two of the great figures of Indian classical music, Lalgudi Jayaraman, and the late Pandit Ravi Shankar, to acknowledge their incredible influence.
We have combined the best of North and South Indian Classical music and added influences from western and folk traditions, and demonstrate how some amazing contemporary composers are shaping this new genre.
Because there is no existing repertoire of Indian orchestra works, SAMYO constantly creates, reinvents and develops its music, to help shape the Indian musical environment, and respond to latest trends.
We hope you enjoy listening to the unique sound of the talented young musicians of SAMYO”.
