A taste of carnatic music
So you can use a passel of flowery verbs and scribble adjectives all over the page, but you can only do so much in words to describe a song.
Fortunately, Surya Nagarajan, the young carnatic music singer I profiled in Friday's Weekly, was kind enough to give me a sample of her art. Here you can listen to a short .mp3 file of Surya performing.
Carnatic music is classical music from Southern India, sung in such languages as Telugu and Hindi. This is just a taste of it; Surya will also hold a solo concert this Sunday at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.

Cool clip! It has similarities to Native American music - interesting when the two cultures are so far apart.

Another site on carnatic music (rather a discussion forum) - www.rasikas.org
You can pass this on to your carnatic singer friend too.
