Sorry for not posting for a while, I've been a bit busy with organising a house move and some other stuff that seems to be unbelievably time consuming.
I recently came across a few blogs that I would like to mention. They both feature rare recordings which are pretty hard to find anywhere else.
The first one is Oriental-Traditional-Music. There are some real gems available on this site from all across the Middle East and Asia. However, the posts that I found the most interesting are the following:
The other blog I would like to mention is La Logique Interne. I don't speak French at all but most of the text makes sense through google translate.
Lastly, here's a video of a song that I can't stop listening to. It is probably my favourite thing that Ravi Shankar has done (apart from Passages with Philip Glass).

| http://oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com/2011/06/ustad-abdul-halim-jaffer-khan-sitar.html This guy is a really innovative player, definitely recommended. |
 |
| http://oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com/2011/06/nikhil-banerjee-raga-musik-aus.html The Bhairavi on this recording is mind blowing. |
 |
| http://oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com/2011/06/ustad-mohammed-shareef-khan-poonchhwala.html I've mentioned this a few times in my last posts. This is one of the best recordings of sitar that I've ever heard, not in terms of quality but the playing is amazing. Check out the raga kirwani. |

| http://oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com/2011/06/ustad-abdul-halim-jaffer-khan.html More from Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan. A lovely raga Multani. |

| http://lalogiqueinterne.blogspot.com/2011/06/dautres-maitres-du-sitar.html More from Mohammed Sharif Khan Poonchwala. |
 |
| http://lalogiqueinterne.blogspot.com/2010/10/nikhil-banerjee-au-musee-guimet-1974.html Over a gigabyte of Nikhil Banerjee recordings. They vary in quality but are all amazing in terms of playing. Definitely worth the downloads. |
Lastly, here's a video of a song that I can't stop listening to. It is probably my favourite thing that Ravi Shankar has done (apart from Passages with Philip Glass).
