toulouse-based sitar maestro paikan has been on a musical journey ever since he entered the conservatory at the precocious age of 5 to study violin, singing and music theory. since the end of his formal studies, his experiments and collaborations have touched pretty much every far-reaching corner of the popular music underground. more recently pakan began to lend his mastery of the sitar to a more acoustic-led funk and jazz sound, heard here on his debut release. jazzman's area of speciality is in finding and reissuing the lost and forgotten treasures of yesteryear, so it takes something pretty unique to pique their attentions away from that mission. paikan's sound could be described as a four-way meeting of the minds between ravi shankar, lalo schifrin, fela kuti and jimi hendrix. jazzman say it's the best three tracks of sitar music they've heard in 30 odd years or so, it's also a record which defiantly stresses the 'fun' in funk.
