Paolo Giaro, Krishna Bhatt, Debiprasad Gosh, Matteo Scaioli - Dancing In The Light Of The Full Moon (2025)

The title track, “Dancing in the Light of the Full Moon" portrays, like a photo, the character of India at the end of the millennium, with the colors of all its modernity projected into its past.
East and West meet and inspire each other in this performance by the Italian guitarist, keyboard player and composer Paolo Giaro.
Together with Krishna Bhatt on sitar and vocals, Debiprasad Gosh on sarod as well as tabla and percussion, Paolo creates an original musical bridge with a fusion of fascinating and unpredictable languages.
A harmonious meeting between Indian music, New Age, Jazz and World Music, this recording exemplifies Paolo’s search for a common dimension where “everyone can sit at the same table and eat what he brings.
The nephew of influential sitar player Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Krishna Bhatt resurrects the 19th century tunes of Hindustani composer/singers, including Amin Khan, Begum Akhtar, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, and Shobha Gurtu, with a sound that the San Francisco Chronicle praised for its "clarity and expressive simplicity." Descended from a family of musicians, poets, and scholars, Bhatt was shown the musical traditions of the Senia school by his father, the late sitar player Pandit Shashi Mohan Bhatt. He expanded his musical vision under Ravi Shankar and during informal sessions with fellow musicians including Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Since the early '80s, Bhatt has collaborated with a lengthy list of Indian and Western musicians, including Terry Riley, the Kronos String Quartet, and tabla master Zakir Hussein, with whom he recorded the duo album Kirwani: Essence of a Raag.
