about

Low-fi field recordings from the Ganges River Basin: from solo and small group performances to street bands mostly in Sarnath and Varanasi, but including visits to Buddhist pilgrimage sites like Vulture Peak near Rajgir and the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya that feature chanting from Tibet and Vietnam.
