I was searching for some videos on pastel painting and found this with what sounds like Indian or Pakistani music playing. I like it. It sounds like something I've heard Charlie play but not sure who.

Nice pastel work.

The song is Donasian - We Can Make It Better, a charity record by Punjabi artist Mukhtar Sahota and a host of other artists, with string arrangements by AR Rahman (released in 2005):

Thanks for the information Kas. I figured someone would recognize it.

You're welcome, Dayna.

I read that it was recorded as a relief effort for the South Asian tsunami victims after the 2004 catastrophe. Not a bad song for one.

Those live painting clips are interesting to watch too. Usually an artist won't like you peeking over his or her shoulder... They make me think I should pick up my old hobby again. It's been awhile.

It's interesting how music and inspiration go together. I think we did a thread on music that inspires somewhere. The other day, I was listening to David Bowie's Golden Years on the radio and something about that made me feel inspired for some reason. Not sure what about it made me feel that way. I guess the music makes you feel sort of "up".


Even hearing music like Donasian is inspiring.
