The Music Nomad is a music and travel television program that invites viewers to discover the exciting sounds of the planet. As an ethnomusicologist and world music record producer, host Jacob Edgar travels the globe hunting for the best songs the world has to offer. Along the way, he"s rewarded with a backstage pass to concert halls, street festivals, recording studios and rehearsal rooms. With local musicians as his guide, Edgar tastes exotic and occasionally ghastly food, visits off-the-beaten path attractions and parties the night away to amazing concerts at hidden venues that only the locals know. In the first 90-minute episode of this ongoing series, Jacob Edgar travels to India, a country of extremes, where ancient history and tradition are colliding head on with the modern world. It is a land that glows with vibrant colors, stunning architecture, and cultural riches, yet also shocks the visitor with its excessive pollution, pandemonium, and poverty.
