The page Planetradiocity.com has an interview with Indian classical instrumentalist Abhijit Pohankar. His most recent release, Piya Bavari, is a bit like Enigma meets the East, or fusion, according to the artist himself. Abhijit Pohankar has released over 20 albums, and has made music for movies. He says:

Piya Bavari started a new genre called Raga Lounge (new-age Indian music). I released it last year and because of Piya Bavari, I have been called the new face of new age music.

And more:

No one else has come up with albums that have a touch of classical music and fusion sounds. I have also worked in Bollywood, on the movie Boom.
