The term "world music" has been used all too often for failed productions without artistic value. This time it is almost daring to speak of a production at all, because actually they just wanted to meet for a late night jam session and just make some music. And then it turned into a legendary recording that just makes "Buena Vista Social Club" seem tired.

Ry Cooder was coming off a ten-hour recording session for a movie score. He had driven two hours to meet Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, a disciple of Ravi Shankar, whose Indian recordings he had always enjoyed. Joining him was Cooder's then 14-year-old son Joachim on the dumbek and Sukhvinder from India on the tabla.

The recording took place in front of the altar of a Catholic church on a Persian carpet. Well after midnight, the recording took place in completely analog form in the presence of Franciscan monks. An analog chain built by Tim de Paravicini with Esoteric Audio Research tube microphones in classic Blumlein alignment, tube-driven microphone amplifiers and a corresponding tape machine with 76 cm/s recording speed. No limiters or compressors were used for the entire recording.

Digital conversion was performed on a Meitner converter in 2008, and the identical tape machine used to capture the 1993 recording served as the feed. Mastering by Kevin Gray of AcousTech in Camarillo, California.

Double LP with 45 rpm. We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
