Folks.
I came to know of this Organisation , thanks to a member here.
I thought I should share some information that I gathered from one of their annual issues , so that some of you may be interested.
(though I must admit it leans heavily towards Maharastra/Hindusthani Music)
But I have put it up in this General Section since there is a great emphasis on the Recording Industry ..
I must also add that I am not a member myself and am putting it up just to spread the word around.
