Israeli tourists enjoy a musical evening in Varanasi | A group of Israeli tourists was treated to Indian
classical music over the holy Ganges river in Varanasi on Thursday. The tourists
enjoyed the music on a boat in the river. The experience left them quite thrilled
and later they also entertained the musicians by singing Israeli songs. The tourists
were drawn to charm of the Indian classical music. "Classical music goes a long
way back. Again the Indian culture is so old, so ancient, and lot of knowledge
is almost ageless. We can see this world music becoming mainstream music in Europe,
Israel and many other places," said Sai, a tourist. It is monophonic in nature
and based around a single melody line, which is played over a fixed drone. The
music has been made world famous by many renowned Indian vocalists and musicians. |
