Indian classical music 100 years after the publication of Siddhartha

The Bansuri flute, a transverse bamboo flute, plays a fundamental role in Indian culture and is often featured in its myths and stories. One of the most popular and beloved musical instruments on the Indian subcontinent, it produces a melodious sound with rich notes. Indian classical music, stimulating and colourful, is very refined. Its complexity of performance requires a long study under the guidance of authentic masters.
