Buy CDs to promote classical music: Pt Ajay

Kolkata: Calling upon the present generation not to be entirely dependent on downloading musical tracks, eminent vocalist Pt Ajay Chakraborty asked music lovers to buy audio CDs and promote the cause of musicians.

Launching `Live in Concert`, the exclusive archival collection of classical ragas and compositions, by sitarist Purbayan Chatterjee to mark the sesquicentennial birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda here last evening, Chakraborty said, "I am not suggesting you should discard digital technology, or you should bar yourself from embracing the modern tools of music. But to sustain an initiative by artistes like Purbayan, one need to buy CDs that will also help in understanding and appreciating music," he said.
