An interesting collective of Rajasthani musicians with a link to Italy, the Dhoad Gypsies switch relatively easily from what is essentially Hindustani classical to what is essentially qawwali and back to some instrumental soloing on rarer Rajasthani desert instruments in the course of but three tracks. While much of the material covered is also contained in other albums by various virtuosos, the focus on Rajasthan as something of a central location for all of it is a nice twist. Also, there's an incredible double-flute solo that you probably won't hear elsewhere. It's too bad the resident fakir and classical dancer can't be shown off in sonic form.
