Speaking with website The Quietus (www.thequietus.com), Mr Leckie says of The Afro-Indian Project:

"Recorded in my mate Ravi's kitchen in Muswell Hill this has a beautiful blend of African kora played by Ravi and tabla from world renowned Bhikaram Ghosh [sic] and santoor sounds from Tarun Bhattacharya. Playable at any time any place."
