I was recently introduced to this soft and very pleasant piano piece (Johann Pachelbel's Canon):
The piece being played is actually not the original but a "variation"
And then I was asked to listen to the Rock rendition of the same:
To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "That's not a variation. THIS is a variation."
I'm partial to the sound of electric guitars, and have often dreamt of how Hindustani music would sound if played like a power ballad with raging guitars.
Now this is all Western music, so it's not a fusion of cultures across geographies, but across eras.
Now this is all Western music, so it's not a fusion of cultures across geographies, but across eras.
I don't know if Pachelbel is rolling in his grave or rocking, but I was simply blown away.
