Nepal suffered huge earthquakes on April 25 and May 12 of this year with continuing and frequent aftershocks. There have been over 8000 deaths and more than 7000 injuries with many people still missing. In the earthquake epicenters and rural areas 90% of homes, schools and buildings are destroyed. Massive help is need to rebuild Nepal.
Parashuram Bhandari hails from the former kingdom of Nepal. He is a master of the sarangi, an instrument whose name means "hundred colors," with a cello-like timbre, bowed on three melody strings with thirty-six sympathetic strings underneath, giving it a haunting cello-like resonance and bright reverberating echo. His music ranges from the wildly exuberant to hauntingly delicate, presented with the rhythmic power that is his signature.
Daniel Paul is a graduate from the Ali Akbar College of Music, a Fulbright India Scholar and long-time tabla accompanist to Grammy nominee Jai Uttal. Together in a time honored tradition whose roots go back thousands of years, Parashuram and Daniel will present an evening meditation of melodies and rhythms from Nepal and India.
WORKSHOP INFO: Raga is Music for the Soul. Learn how tradition mood, raag (melody) and taal (rhythm) create this transcendent form. Rare workshop opportunity to learn about raga melody and rhythms (how to count the 16 beat cycle & more) from Parashuram and Daniel. Especially for kirtan lovers, experience how raga, kirtan, bhajan, meditation, devotion all spring from one source. No prior music experience necessary. Musicians, singers, dancers welcome. Non-musical people welcome. Special Indian lunch will be served by Kalani at extra cost. Please reserve your workshop space by phone to 808-965-1053 or email to icmchawaii@gmail.com
