5 Peaces
I have their live performing DVD which was recorded in Bombay, 2000. The concert was basically taken over the DVD's. They blend traditional Indian music in contemporary music.
I felt yesterday's performance was more modernized than ever before.
Because this is Tokyo, not Bombay?
Could be. I saw few people put on saree and turban there yesterday.
This year is 2005, not 2000?
Could be. They'll evolve from year to year.
