"Kashmir", Arabic Inspired Song
Background information regarding the song:
The song also includes many distinctive musical patterns of classical Moroccan, Indian and Middle Eastern music. Page[Jimmy] explained that "I had a sitar for some time and I was interested in modal tunings and Arabic stuff. It started off with a riff and then employed Eastern lines underneath."
Originally called "Driving to Kashmir", the lyrics to the song were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin's 1973 US Tour, in an area he called "the waste lands" of Southern Morocco, while driving from Goulimine to Tantan in the Sahara Desert. This was despite the fact that the song is named for Kashmir, a region in the northernmost part of the Indian subcontinent.
Who says that we at IBA do not appreciate the finer things of Arabic, Middle Eastern and South Asian region & culture as cited here and here.
