Music: India meets Egypt in Rahul Sharma's new album


Saturday, July 4, 2009

His father is a music legend and he too has carved a niche for himself as a Santoor player. Rahul Sharma, son of Santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, is now all set to entertain music buffs with his new album ‘A Meeting By The Nile’, a fusion of Indian and Egyptian music.

Rahul has collaborated with Egyptian artist Georges Kazazian and Indian playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan for the venture.

‘The album is a confluence of Indian instrument Santoor and the Egyptian Oud. The album comes under the category of world music and is a fusion of Indian and Egyptian influences. It is very contemporary and also features Sunidhi Chauhan, who has sung two vocal tracks, giving the album a mainstream touch,’ Rahul told IANS over telephone from Mumbai.
