While American bluesman would probably like to believe otherwise, the slide
guitar has been developed in many cultures. The earliest reports of
Hawaiian slide guitar come from 1876, while Indian culture can trace the
use of a slide instrument upon strings back to the 11th century. American
guitarist Bob Brozman has explored Hawaiian slide deeply and jammed his way
around the world, delving into different cultures and finding common
musical threads. Here he is joined by India's Debashish Bhattacharya on
Hindustani slide guitar, his brother Subhashis on tabla and an array of
percussion, and sister Sutapa on vocals. Ranging from the more classical
Indian music "Maa" to the riff-heavy "Tagore Street Blues" to the
positively rockin' "Bana Mali," the guitarists duel with an open approach
that blurs all lines of division, while Sutapa and Subhashis stick closer
to the Indian traditions. Like a Bollywood flick about a back-country blues
guitarist, Mahima is ragas and 16-bar blues, simultaneously alien and
somehow not so far from the American folk form. - Tad Hendrickson
