Pt. Nikhil Banerjee - Raga Bhimpalasi (complete)

“...My approach to music is very deep. I do not compromise. Indian music is based on spiritualism and was practiced and learned to know the Supreme Truth. A musician must lift up the souls of the listeners and take them towards Space. This is the history of Indian music... ” --- Pandit Nikhil Banerjee (1931-1986)
