Ustad Shujaat Khan believes that such collaborations can be a great experience for music lovers. “I have performed several times with George earlier, and he has huge respect and knowledge about Indian music. This makes it great fun; I hope the audience can listen to how much we enjoy the performance,” he says.
Though Khan feels that such collaborations are great he adds that a musician should firstly, establish oneself in his/her field of music before venturing into collaborations. “Unless there is an expertise in your own field, collaborations may not be a great idea. If musicians are good, such collaborations are extremely enjoyable,” he adds.
