Swiss Indian Orchestra by Swiss Indian Orchestra

Delving into and refining the art of a carefully created atmosphere, sustainable and intriguing and mesmerizing all the same, this group strikes an ideal balance between the active and inactive, the extroverted and introverted, the commanding presence and the receptive one. Put simply, it is a gorgeous album worthy of notice by any Indian music fan"(CD Baby)
