A wonderful example of Indian-Western fusion music

These songs are from the movie Morning Raga . The songs are awesome carnatic songs (south indian classical music genre) and here the fusion is created with western percussion and the omnipotent keyboard. The songs are sung by great carnatic living legends Sudha Ranganathan, Bombay Jayshree and Kalyani Menon. The first song shows the beautiful south indian country side and this is a really a dream for me. I hope I can have a house and fields like that. The music for this composed by Mani Sharma.
This genre of world music is also sometimes categorized as World Music. Listen to the complete song before you pass a judgement. I am sure you will like the song Tayee Yashoda (second video).

Mahaganapathim - The original krithi was written by the great Muthuswamy Dikshithar (a giant of the carnatic music)
