O’s Notes: Welcome to the world of Indian violinist Nistha Raj! She partners with cellist Wytold and Christylez Bacon (human beatbox & spoons) to open with the funky “Shivranjani”. But this is mostly contemporary Indian music featuring Nistha’s prowess on violin culminating with her solo finale, “Alibi”. The energy flows as Raj pushes the traditional envelope of her native sounds.
