‘Ranjani has been one of my favourite ragas ever since I was a child. The phrases that my father sang to me 30 years ago, instilling the soul of Ranjani in me, still resonate in my ears. ‘Ranjani’ in this album, is my thread of thoughts through the raga, traveling with world companions adding spices in the form of Banjo, robust Carnatic violins, classical and folk rhythms from India.’ - Varijashree Venugopal

Is Bela a friend of Ground Up or did Varijashree bring him in on this? I'd love to hear him rip banjo on some new Snarky stuff! He can make that thing sound good with any genre.
