About From Dawn to Dusk

Fusion From India is a collaborative album that blends North Indian classical music with elements of fusion. The release features performances by bansuri flutist Ronu Majumdar, santoor player Tarun Bhattacharya, and mohan veena artist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. The exact release year and label remain undocumented in widely available sources.

The album includes a mix of traditional raga-based compositions and experimental fusion tracks. One of its notable pieces is From Dawn to Dusk, the fifth track on the recording. The composition spans 7 minutes and 36 seconds and showcases the interplay between Majumdar’s bansuri, Bhattacharya’s santoor, and Bhatt’s mohan veena. The track exemplifies the album’s fusion approach by integrating classical Indian melodic structures with contemporary arrangements.

Ronu Majumdar contributes fluid bansuri melodies rooted in the Hindustani classical tradition. Tarun Bhattacharya’s santoor playing introduces rhythmic and harmonic layers, while Vishwa Mohan Bhatt’s mohan veena provides a resonant, slide-guitar-like texture. The collaboration reflects a period in the 1990s and early 2000s when Indian classical musicians explored cross-genre experimentation without departing entirely from raga frameworks.

The album’s production details, including recording location and engineering credits, are not publicly verified. From Dawn to Dusk remains a cited example of instrumental fusion from this era, though comprehensive reviews or commercial reception records are limited. The track’s duration and placement in the album sequence suggest a focus on extended improvisation within a structured composition.
