FOR RISHTE (with Najma Akhtar): "THE RECORD YOU DID TOGETHER IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE AND SHOULD CATAPULT THE SO-CALLED WORLD-MUSIC (MUSICS OF THE WORLD - LES MUSIQUES DU MONDE WOULD BE A BETTER TERM) TO A NEW LEVEL." Karl Lippegaus, Deutschlandfunk radio host of "Soundcheck", 5/2009 "RISHTE IS DYNAMIC AND CHALLENGING, A 21ST CENTURY INDO-AMERICAN BLUES FUSION THAT SUGGESTS THE WEST AND EAST CAN COMMUNICATE WITH MUCH GREATER EASE THAN MANY OF OUR POLITICIANS WOULD ALLOW US TO BELIEVE."
