A chance meeting of a guy with a swiss made steele drum led me and Mandy to the most AWESOME musical event I have been to in India yet, or maybe my whole life? I had no idea that, "you should come to my show," would turn into a night like last night. Nothing like being present as Indian musicans jam together and feeling as though you got let in on something only to be attributed as a true gifting. You have not heard someone play the drums until you have heard Sivamani and Rajeev battle it out like dueling panios yet with Rajeev on the tabla and Siva on his plethora of percussion. Add in one phenomenal floutist with his wooden flutes, a girl with a great Indian voice, a guy who can strum, and the jazz pianist and there are not words to describe these few hours. Amazing...simply amazing. I do not say I am a fan of much but these boys...I am there.
