World Music: Nagore Sessions, "The Saint"
(India) Nagore Sessions features three singers from Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu. Our viewers may remember them from their performance in the beautiful musical travelogue Lava Project shown on Link TV. The vocals are by Abdul Ghani, Ajah Maideen and Saburmaideen Babha Sabeer of the local Nagore dargah. A dargah is a sufi shrine, usually built over the grave of a saint, and this song is indeed a Sufi chant. "Laya Project" was created by EarthSync, a Chennai based production company and recording studio which has been encouraging traditional artists to expand and develop their music. Nagore Sessions is one of their first efforts with a specific group, and the video reflects Earthsync's unerring visual artistry.
