'' A fantastic meeting of indian SITAR and Pop-Music ''
Payuta's Sitar-style should never be an ''India-Copy'', but fuses the sound of the indian Sitar with influences of Pop, Jazz, Trance, Rock and Blues to a very unique musical stream.
Till today Payuta has come out worldwide with 8 CDs .
Since july 2007 Harry Payuta lives in San Salvador / El Salvador. Between his concerts and own productions in Centro-America he is busy in several music projects like SECOND SKY / USA and REALWORLD RECORD / India.

Payuta & Friends - Departure
The sitar opens as if it was to become a song for the Beatles-Album ''Rubber Soul''.
But it won’t, because Harry Payuta is not only a god-gifted multi-instrumentalist but also sparkles with ideas of his own. So he created a whole string of real catchy melodies and Matthias Monka’s somewhat soulful vocals add a lot to turn them into songs of quite similar qualities as in the – at least partly – hip 1960s.
No wonder, some single tunes by Canned Heat and Frank Zappa blend in so well.
Nobody ever integrated the Sitar into western Pop music
in a more competent and adequate manner than Payuta.

Thank you, for your comment Harry and welcome. You look" so happy" in the picture with your Sitar. Best wishes, from us all here. Phil Jackson and friends.
Hola Harry, Gracias por el lindo comentario que me enviaste, no te escribi antes porque estaba en Honduras todo el mes de Octubre, dando conciertos y visitando a la familia y amigos...pase un tiempo maravilloso...
Muchos besos, paz y luz para ti desde Delhi... Wanny
I really appreciate that, Harry. I love authoring songs, singing and making music; so it is a good thing there are people who appreciate it.
How does one end up playing Sitar in El Salvador? I think I am jealous. I am a Ravi Shankar fan; and I would love to be living outside the US right now, especially in Central America.
How are you?? I hope all is going great :) Just wanted to thank you for your continued friendship!! Your support for me and my music means the world to me!! When you get the chance, stop by my page, hope you enjoy the new look and pics- feel free to brighten up my space with your lovely face and comments anytime!
