Thanks for the link. The narrator's text is intelligent, and cites not only Pandit's "self-invention" and blending and obscuring of racial and cultural identities, but also notes that he "assumed an androgynous mask long before David Bowie..." Not to mention, "Korla Pandit created beauty and he stood in the vanguard of what was called the 'exotic sound'".
