The 2 disc set also includes a free DVD documentary with some live performances. The Rhythm of Speech 2 presents conversations exploring the common ground between Indian sacred music, Sufi mysticism and Malian dance music. The set contains 2 CDs and a DVD in a hardcover book format with excellent notes and illustrations, complete with all texts and an essay by French world-music radio personality Caroline Bourgine in both French and English.
A fine ensemble of accompanying musicians from all three regions include Bijan and Djamchid Chemirani (percussion), Neba Solo (balfon), Ali Reza Ghorbani (voice), Embar Kannan (violin), Skanda Subramanian Sundarajan (percussion), Raman Ramakrishnan (guimbarde) and many others.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
