BFM Bootlegs - Get up close and personal with a sitar and its maestro, Usman Khan

As mentioned in his online biography: "Usman Khan deservedly holds a privileged place in the field of Indian Classical music, Sitar playing in particular." BFM's Ali Jo asks Usman Khan why music is a form of "ibadah" (a form of prayer) and why he considers playing a Sitar a sacred experience. After the interview, Ustad Usman Khan was kind enough to give us a sneak peek to his talent by playing a piece for you. This video is a follow-up from a radio interview done by Meera Sivasothy from The Bigger Picture on BFM 89.9.
