Hi all,
Plugging some friends' effort.
Sarita Mishra, who is one of Nepal's leading young (female) tabala-players
and
Salil Subedi -- a young writer, musician, performance artist and much,
much more -- are doing an interesting musical
JAM SESSION at
Himalayan Java Coffee House
in Thamel
on Saturday, July 6
at 5 pm.
Sarita, a formally trained classical musician, will be playing tabala, of course;
while Salil, a self-taught musician, will be playing an Australian aboriginal
musical instrument callled didgeridoo.
Their fusion music, which I had had a chance to listen to a few times already, has hypotic, entrancing quality -- and is bound to be enjoyed all the more with Himalayan Java's famous cafe lattes and utterly sinful Bhaktapur brownies. :-)
Admission: FREE

Hi all,
This jam-session went quite well at Himalayan Java Coffee House in Thamel last Saturday, playing, as it did, to a packed house of writers, poets, artists, journalists
and other musicians.
A very special thanks to all the Australian friends who showed up from Australian Embassy. Thanks to Gagan Pardhan -- the genial and hardworking proprietor of the Coffee House -- and to Ashmina Ranjit for making this event possible, and to the
"ECCA ko gang" for showing up in such large numbers.
