Jake Charkey releases his album Rasika: Beyond the Bounded Territories, a compilation of commissioned works for the Indian cello and Hindustani music. Rasika explores hybridity, the overlapping spaces between Western music and Indian music, points of tension or commonality, and new ways of synthesizing Indian techniques and musical grammar.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
This new album presents a case for vital and contemporary thought in music coming from a non-Eurocentric space, and the fertile ground of musical traditions from India in the 21st century and diaspora.
Jake Charkey is a pioneering cellist known for adapting the cello to Hindustani music, blending Indian classical traditions with contemporary genres.
