What is Western Kirtan? | with Mike Cohen from Kirtan Leader
In this video I interview @MikeCohenKirtan professional harmonium player & teacher (and saxophonist) to discuss everything you might need to know about Kirtan.
The harmoniums in this video are the Bhava Studio Concert Edition (teak) and the Bhava Mini Standard Edition (pine). Learn more at: https://bhavaharmonium.com
These instruments were supplied to me by https://olddelhimusic.com for the purpose of creating videos about harmoniums and related types of music. Old Delhi Music has not paid me and I will need to return these instruments. I have full editorial control and can say whatever I want, positive or negative.
