Violin Padma Staff answered 1 year ago In my opinion , the real fabric of any musical system cannot be damaged by itself . This is entirely upto the artiste. Even while performing or collaborating with other musicians , I play Carnatic only . But when heard with instruments other than Indian the flavour will surely change.
Yes indeed , there have been shows with elaborate Alaap’s and swar vistaars too
What instruments feature in a fusion entirely depends on what kind of requirement is there .
