For this New Sounds show, there’s music built around Indian vocals, from the pop style known as filmi to the centuries-old devotional and love poems known as ghazal. Listen to works from the forthcoming Kronos Quartet release, You’ve Stolen My Heart. On the record, Kronos reworks some of Bollywood soundtrack composer RD Burman's best-loved tunes, collaborating with Burman’s wife and muse Asha Bhosle for the project, whose voice, even today, has lost none of the sweetness and fluidity that made her a Playback star back in Bollywood’s heyday, in the 1960’s. Also, there’s music from Brooklyn-based vocalist (and percussionist) Paula Jeanine from her American Ghazal project along with songs by the Canadian singer Kiran Ahluwalia, and her sometimes Celtic-seeming backing band. Plus, music from Terry Riley and Najma Akhtar rounds out the show.
