We first heard this track when Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow favorite Sarathy Korwar hosted a playlist for NTS Radio which he lovingly dubbed "music by brown people.' (We are pleased to feature Sarathy Korwar on Episode 08). We were immediately floored by this track. Fareed Ayaz is a Pakistani Qawwal who belongs to the Qawwal Bachchon Ka Gharana of Delhi.

As always, we like to try to visualize our musical journeys, so here is a map of Episodes 11-13. We're still trying to find a better solution than Google Maps which only lets us use 10 layers. Oh well. To switch between particular episodes on the map, use the little toggle window in the upper left corner. This week’s artists are the purple map-points.Enjoy.
