Alineación:
- Alberto Marsicano / sitar

Un disco de fusión experimental entre el sonido mántrico del sitar eléctrico con la música electrónica actual. Es que Alberto Marsicano fue el introductor del Sitar (Sitar Indian Classical) en Brasil, desde hace años él realizó recitales y fomentó la formación de nuevos músicos e instrumentistas en dicho estilo y con ese instrumento.
Y mientras Marsicano tocaba en grupos indo-jazz, y hacía música clásica de la India, también participó cdel "sitar groove project", se trata de lna banda de rock psicodélico de Marsicano. Hay algunas grandes interpretaciones psicodélicas interpretadas con el sitar, por ejemplo el "Iron Man" de Black Sabbath, de Pink Floyd: "Set the controls from the heart of the sun",  (una versión corta de "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" de Iron Butterfly, "A Love Supreme" de John Coltrane, y algunas canciones de Jimi Hendrix, todas con el sitar eléctrico como protagonista, más bajo, batería y tampura (es un instrumento popular en la música folclórica de Croacia, Bulgaria, Hungría, Serbia y, por supuesto, de la India).

Marsicano Rodrigues is a Brazilian musician, citarista, writer who after an education in Sao Paulo questioned himself on the foreign philosophies, on the different way of thinking human being. For this reason he left his country many times, learnt numerous languages (Chinese, Latin, English, Greek.) obtaining a diploma in philosophy. His musical career also started in consequence of his travels. He met Ravi Shankar in London and had lessons with him. He also studied with Krishna Chakavarty, professor of the University of Benares. After his revelation for India music he decided to go back to his native country, starting a professional career as musician and teacher. With devotion and passion he divulges his knowledges in India music in several places, sometimes playing with others musicians. He recorded his album of poetries called "galaxies" with Arnaldo Antunes. He progressively conquered the attention and respect of many Brazilian musicians and the faithful of a public interested in India classical music. In parallel to his musical career he has written many books on legendary personalities (William Blake.) and articles on several countries as Japan, India. During the 90's until today he experimented the world of electronic rock music to the traditional Brazilian music and eastern influences. The album "electric sitar" and his "electric sitar experience" introduce him in the universe of progressive music, playing rock "covers" and original compositions for sitar with electronic treatments.
