Hindustani

I listened to Dus at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZH7I5Zx07w. he uses many different types of instruments in his performances that balance each other out with his voice. one of the main instruments is the electrophone, which spreads throughout the whole outdoor audience. this makes the audience more lively and the space between the performers and audience tightens. they also used idophones in the performance in order to produce a solo for the main singer. the performance is held outside so the music spreads further and the audience themselves seem to be familarize with the type of music so they can probably relate to that culture. the performers are really into the performance, by acting out certain parts of the song in order to tell a story. the song which is not in english probably has something to do with there culture because they seem very proud about what they are singing. it really speaks towards the audience because they are trying to grab the performers in the first couple of rows.
