Amalgam is a truly unique project from sarod virtuosi Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan along with Grammy-nominated American classical violinist Elmira Darvarova. The release follows the 2015 collaborative album “Soul Strings,” which was highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike. Most of the works performed on this release were composed by Amjad Ali Khan, the father of Amaan and Ayaan. Amjad is universally known and appreciated as a sarod guru, and a presence in the world of Indian Classical Music. The album also includes a solo work composed and performed by Elmira Davarova, which was inspired by her Bulgarian roots, and is a fascinating contrast to the classical Indian ragas also featured on the release. Joining classical traditions of the East and the West, this album of world premiere performances gives new meaning and life to the genre “World Music.”
