Abstract

The article focuses on notable albums that exemplify innovative approaches to Indian classical music fusion, highlighting a range of artists who blend traditional ragas with diverse genres and modern instrumentation. It features seminal works such as Ravi Shankar's "Portrait of Genius," which showcases his enduring influence, and Charanjit Singh's "Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat," recognized for its pioneering electronic sound predating acid house. Other highlighted albums include Tenderlonious' "Still Flute," which merges raga with deep house and electro funk, and Arooj Aab's "Vulture Prince," which reinterprets ragas and Urdu ghazals through jazz minimalism.
