Live music in Varanasi

Category: India, 2007
Here's a sound clip from the German Bakery restaurant in Varanasi.

German Bakery is a very cosy place. Especially the 2nd floor is nice.

In the second half of the sound clip you can hear people chanting. We saw this "phenomenon" at an earlier time here in Varanasi. I think a relative to these people has died and, traditionally, they are now carrying the body down to the Ganges, repeating these words. Finally they will burn the body.

Description of the surroundings
In this sound clip I am riding on a bicycle riksha through the dense Varanasi traffic. It's late evening and I am going from the old town close to Ganges towards the train station.

All these bicycle riksha bells ringing, together with autoriksha horns and the people on the street makes a very special sound mix.

Description of the surroundings
We are sitting in a rowing boath on the river Ganges in Varanasi. In the sound clip, we are floating past the men in the middle of the picture doing a ceremony. Then, past the bathing people to the left.
After about four minutes in the clip, one of the bathing kids grabs our boat. Our rower doesn't like this at all.
