The debut album from percussionist, drummer and producer Sarathy Korwar, ''Day To Day'' fuses traditional folk music of the Sidi community in India (combining East African, Sufi and Indian influences) with jazz and electronics.

Conceived on an extended trip to rural Gujarat, followed by sessions at Dawn Studios in Pune, Sarathy made field recordings of The Sidi Troupe of Ratanpur whose vocals and percussion form the backbone of Day To Day.

This is a collaborative release by Ninja Tune with The Steve Reid Foundation – a charitable trust established by Brownswood / Gilles Peterson with the dual objective of helping musicians in crisis and also supporting emerging talent. Sarathy is an alumnus of the Foundation’s development program, mentored by Four Tet, Emanative, Floating Points, Koreless and Gilles Peterson.

Heavyweight 180g black vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve. Artwork by Joe Durnan. 12x12" booklet featuring photography by Nikhil Roshan. MP3 downloads included.
