Yes.
Check out Shakti(Mcloughlin's "Indian" band)OR recently his homage to
Shakti(musicians)-"Remember Shakti",there is a live CD that is
terrific.
I must find out the name given to that rhythmic singing.
I studied Classical Indian music at Music College(Leeds) so to my
shame I can't tell you what it's called but as you recognised it's
kind of a call to the Tabla,they sing it,then play it.
For the record,Hindustani(Northern Indian music*) is bloody difficult
to get your head round,the counting and form is a nightmare when
you're "westernised"-good modules on the course though,loved it.
*South Indian music is known as Carnatic Music,there are fundamental
differences in instrumentation,form,scales etc.
I saw Mcloughlin 18 months ago in Warwickshire with Zakir
Hussain(Tabla Master)and other Indian musicians-wicked stuff, that was
the "Remember Shakti" band.
ATB-DG.
