About E Ku'u Morning Dew
E Kuʻu Morning Dew is a track by Indian slide guitarist and composer Debashish Bhattacharya. The composition appears as the fourth track on the album Hawaii To Calcutta: A Tribute To Tau Moe, released on 2017 by Riverboat Records in CD format. The track runs for 4 minutes and 7 seconds.
The album pays homage to the Hawaiian steel guitar duo Tau Moe, known for their influence on global slide guitar traditions. Bhattacharya adapts Hawaiian musical elements into his signature Hindustani classical and fusion style. The track title references the traditional Hawaiian song E Kuʻu Morning Dew, though Bhattacharya’s interpretation incorporates raga-inspired phrasing and his custom-designed chaturangui (a 22-string slide guitar).
Hawaii To Calcutta: A Tribute To Tau Moe explores cross-cultural exchanges between Hawaiian and Indian slide guitar techniques. The album features Bhattacharya as the primary artist, with accompaniment details unspecified in available sources. The release aligns with his broader discography of blending international folk traditions with classical Indian frameworks.
No additional production credits, session musicians, or alternate versions of the track are documented in public records. The album’s liner notes or official press materials may provide further context on the arrangement or recording process, but these details remain unverified in open sources.
