Melodic folk instrumentals from Calcutta rich with delicate finger-picking and the occasional tabla. A jolly Jerry Garcia adds some graceful noodling as well.

Hangal sings in the traditional Hindustani style of North India, with a powerful, subtly controlled voice. She's accompanied by harmonium, sarangi, tabla drums and additional vocals.

This talented Indian classical singer has a four octave range that flows smoothly and seductively over the drone of the tamboura and the rhythmic propulsion of tabla drums.

Beautifully transparent new age fare features Middle Eastern-flavored synth ambiance. Didgeridoo, tabla and a solitary female voice waver perfectly through quarter-note melody lines.

Blending the music of the Arab world and the Orient with modern sensibility, the Third Planet are an Italian Worldbeat favorite. Traditional instruments such as the Kurdish saaz and the Indian tabla add flavor to keyboard melodies and electronic beats.

A woman's voice performs a snake-charm dance to a slow, hypnotic, deep bass drum supplemented by tabla, bells, and string textures. These devotional songs arise from the spiritual practice of meditation.

Paul brings together many different world styles into his compositions. Falls somewhere between Indian classical music -- due to his tabla drum playing -- and lighter new age.

Talented ensemble combines North Indian classical traditions with "through-composed" concepts drawn from jazz composers like Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington. Excellent improvisations on sitar, bansuri (bamboo flute) and tabla drum shine.

A fusion of world styles that mostly focuses on North Indian Classical traditions. Giaro plays guitar mostly, assisted by a variety of Indian musicians (including Krishna Bhatt) on tabla, sitar and sarod.

Though this traditional music is meant to charm snakes, there's a good chance you'll find yourself hypnotized as well. Repetitive rhythms on the tabla are joined by a clarinet-like lead and lute backing.

This youthful knob-twiddler/tabla player has already played with heavyweights across the musical spectrum. He's appeared on albums by artists as diverse as DJ Spooky and Herbie Hancock, and most famously he's a member of the electro-Indian supergroup Tabla Beat Science, with Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussein, Bill Laswell and Ethiopian singer Gigi. Kale's solo work is no less interesting, mingling live instrumentation and vocals from artists like the great classical singer Sultan Khan with expansive electronica and drum 'n' bass.

DXT craft darkly eclectic sound collages. Somnambulistic hip-hop grooves gradually swell to dreamy, surrealistic orchestral textures; Jungle-derived breakbeats lurch along at a lopsided, off-kilter pace, while ominous Dub rhythms incorporate dramatic synth-organ passages and tabla accompaniment.

Mixing genres like a cosmopolitan chef uses spices, Les Pires add a little Ragtime on banjo, swinging jazz through brass, gypsy-singing violins, and Indian tabla drums. Rhythms stem from points east and the south of France.

McLachlan's atmospheric song construction and ethereal voice provide a perfect sonic canvas for many a DJ. Talvin Singh adds his tabla and hints of the east to "Answer"; Thievery Corporation merge perfectly into "Dirty Little Secret"; and Will-I-Am from the Black Eyed Peas makes "Just Like Me" his own.

Neji combine a classical string quartet with an acoustic trio who play flute, saxophone, tabla, classical guitar, violins, viola and cello. Their musical inspiration follows the silk route with stops in Tuva, South India, Turkey, China, and Pakistan. Classical modes commingle with the Orient in a mystical musical venture.
