Harry Payuta cambiará a El Salvador y sus fans estuvieron hasta afueras del club para experienciar el concierto de Adiós.
»Hasta hoy Harry Payuta ha producido 8 CDs y ha hecho de la Sitar su mejor instrumento.
El estilo Sitar de Payuta no es una copia de la musica indú, sino un mezcla del Rock, Trance, Jazz and Blues resultando en un sonido unico. Un ritmo apasionante en el cual aparecen imagenes como rocas del pasado.
Los »riffs« por ejemplo de »Jumping Jack Flash» se integran perfecto en la aura especial del instrumento india. »Like an Eagle« es una canción que en el fondo nos recuerda al los »Allman Brothers«
Payuta´s musica contene muchos elementos de Rock-Music donde la Sitar suena como una guitarra electrica.
Todo esta demuestra, como ha triunfado Payuta al integrar el sonido especial de la Sitara un espectro se sonido, que refleja las influencias musicales de una vida rica en experiencias de manera homogenea.
Tambien las nuevas versiónes »Watermelon in easter Hay« de Frank Zappa y »On the Road again« de Canned Heat suenan »indian payutanic« a la Payuta con la Sitar.
Y ademas, el nuevo disco DEPARTURE ha sido un album de canciónes con el fantástico »souly« voz de Matthias Monka, que permite el maravilloso encuentro de la Sitar y Pop-Music«. (Prensa Alemania)

FOLKER / 02-2005

Payutas new album pricked up my ears, for it contains ten compositions in the area between US-Folkrock, British Psychedelia and those three years of Popmusic (1967-69), when even the hardest Rock´n´Roll- Band on earth (Rolling Stones) used the Sitar.
Payuta arranged the tracks like he would have done it in a Rockband: Lead-Sitar, Rhythmus-Sitar, Bass-Sitar on a conventional Bass & Drums-basis, divers Keyboard-Sounds, Tenorsax, Clarinet, Violin, Viola, Esraj as well as a lot of percussion-instruments.
So Payuta only had to inspire some spirit of the late sixties and ready was »the grandson of Sgt. Pepper«.
