Follow the path of the Travel Tunes. Musical traditions of the past invite improvisation and new compositions.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perpetual road trips from the far North to the warm South and from the West to the East. Stranded immigrants dream of their homeland and seek solace in music. Once they arrive, dances and songs mingle with local traditions. Melodies travel the world. Grooves from the warm South mingle with embellishments from the East. Wondrous instruments meet in never-before-sounding combinations. Beauty and agony, rousing dances and melancholic songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The serpent, a lost instrument from the 16th and 17th centuries, sounds melodic and somewhat melancholic. The instrument was succeeded by the ophicleid, which in turn is the big brother of the saxophone. Niti Ranjan Biswas from Bangladesh is a virtuoso on tabla, a Hindustani percussion instrument. Each instrument brings its own tradition. Musicians from different directions meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
