Bharat Karki - International Music

International Music by Bharat Karki

From beginning to end, this is a flood of weird Indian psychedelic funk, with heavy percussion grooves in an 'international music' style featuring elements of rock, latin and arabic music, melded with chanted Hindu mantra. Electric guitar, bass, bunch of Indian percussion, flutes, screaming, organ and (maybe) Moog!  An explosion of Indian youth music from the mysterious 1978 private production. First time ever reissued, LP runs at 45rpm.

1.  A Trip To Kathmandu (2:44)
