Field recording of Indian Devotional music made at Exeter Respect festival 2008.

This was another performer I saw at the Exeter Respect Festival, playing the Kora. He was accompanied by two youngsters on guitar, which I thought a bit incongruous at the time but I really think the combination of instruments worked.

On the weekend of 8 July, the Exeter Phoenix hosted the annual Respect Festival. Among the many performers was a guy playing Turkish folk songs on a Saz. I found the sound of the instrument and the vocal melodies hypnotic and compelling.
