New Album: Liquid Reality

Indian classical fusion guitarist Anupam Shobhakar breaks new ground again with the release of Liquid Reality.
The album’s compositions reflect a stunning range of influences, from mystic Sufi ghazals to progressive jazz-rock, Indian classical music and features a musical lineup of global masters including pianists Utsav Lal and Santiago Liebson, kanjeera player Swami Selva Ganesh, vocalists Ona Kirei and Ben Parag, and percussionists Satoshi Takeishi, Chris Savarino and Gumbi Ortiz.
Guitarist John McLaughlin and Shakti have been a constant musical inspiration for Anupam, and Liquid Reality pays tribute to those guiding lights with “La Dance de Bonheur”, a breathtaking reinvention of the Shakti classic.
 
Also featured on the album is “Anjaneya”, a heroic rock fusion piece honoring the Hindu deity Hanuman that features the album’s most challenging Indian rhythmic concepts; and “Formless”, a duo piece for guitar and kanjeera (South Indian frame drum).
 
With his latest release, Anupam Shobhakar not only expands the realm of electric guitar with the invention of his custom double neck guitar but also expands the musical dialogue between East and West. Liquid Reality is essential listening for fans of adventurous jazz, rock and world music and for guitarists everywhere
