At the heart of YTK’s transporting new album is the subcontinent’s navarasa; the nine (nava) emotions or sentiments (rasa) of the arts. This central unifying underpinning is a centuries-old organising principle. The individual artistic emotions range from Shringara (love, beauty) through Hasya (laughter, mirth, comedy), Raudra (anger), Karuna (sorrow, compassion or mercy), Bibhatsya (disgust), Bhayanaka (horror, terror), Veera (heroism, courage), Adbutha (surprise, wonder) to Shanta (peace, tranquillity).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWestlin’ Winds\u003c\/i\u003e starts with the life-destroying Act I of Robert Burns’ poem \u003ci\u003eNow Westlin Winds, (And Slaught’ring Guns) \u003c\/i\u003eand deliciously transplants its disjoined, nature-extolling and life-affirming Act II onto Indian soil with a composition \"in Purbi, a specific dialect of old Hindi. I learnt the song,” says Suhail, “by listening to various qawwali [Muslim devotional song] singers singing at Hazrat Nizammuddin’s dargah [shrine] in Delhi. Its source is Hazrat Amir Khusrau.” Thus YTK unite one of the key spiritual visionaries and architects of Hindustani art music, the poet-philosopher Hazrat Amir Khusrau with the key literary visionary of Scottish and Scots-language culture, Robert Burns. This bricolage of diverse cross-cultural elements is apparent across Navarasa : Nine Emotions and all of what YTK create. James Yorkston weaves in Scottish folk, sangster and literary strands. Jon Thorne is grounded in jazz and groove. What the New Delhi-based, eighth-generation hereditary musician Suhail Yusuf Khan brings to this feast of pulses and cycles is northern Indian classical, light classical (thumri, for example) and Sufi devotional musical and literary forms. What binds these diverse musical strands together is, in James’ phrase, “a dark happiness”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50446228062539,"sku":"1082199","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green | LP | x2","offer_id":50446228619595,"sku":"1082200","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50446229373259,"sku":"1082197","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5432e2e5-806e-46f8-86cb-073bcfcf07e6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727055035"},{"product_id":"neuk-wight-delhi-all-stars","title":"Neuk Wight Delhi All-Stars","description":"\u003cp\u003eYorkston \/ Thorne \/ Khan release their new album \u003ci\u003eNeuk Wight Delhi All-Stars\u003c\/i\u003e. It follows the band’s debut album, 2016’s critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eEverything Sacred\u003c\/i\u003e, and presents a confluence of currents, among them the north Indian sarangi; jazz-tinged bass, reminiscent in places of Danny Thompson; acoustic guitar that owes a debt to Elizabeth Cotton, Dick Gaughan and Mississippi John Hurt; and three very different vocalists - James Yorkston (East Neuk of Fife), Jon Thorne (Isle of Wight) and Suhail Yusuf Khan (New Delhi). A collection of traditional Indian and UK folk songs, beautiful originals and idiosyncratic covers, \u003ci\u003eNeuk Wight Delhi All-Stars\u003c\/i\u003e does not only bring together Indian classical music and jazz, then, but kosmische too; Yorkston also cites dub reggae, Uilleann pipes and the Madagascan guitarist D’Gary as influences.
