Episode description
This week on Cultural Manifesto my guest will be the extraordinary guitarist/composer Rafiq Bhatia. Rafiq is probably best known as a member of Son Lux, but he has an extraordinary new solo disc titled Breaking English. A recent New York Times piece described Rafiq as one of the "most intriguing figures in music today." On Breaking English Rafiq draws from a wide palette of sounds, including electronic music, jazz, and South Indian Carnatic music.
