For something completely different, join the bliss factory for an evening of Indian vocal music. Umakant Gundecha and Ramakant Gundecha, the Gundecha Brothers, perform Dhrupad, an ancient Hindustani style with poetic lyrics, often regarding Hindu gods. The work follows the raga structure, is of particular slow rhythm, in a low register. There is always something special in the vocal harmony of siblings; this would be one of many examples.
