“(Hindustani Dabkeh) was composed for the BBC and synchronized for live broadcast as well as a choreographer from the world of cinema (and the genius of Martha Graham in a nascent way…). The network restricted it to a short duration and we agreed to this in the interest of broadcasting the entire work in performance together with the documentary.” Mohammed Fairouz
