A big thank you to the Asian Arts agency for planning and organising this event. Your hard work brought us this unforgettable evening of music! 🙌

Take a look at this shot of the two artists in action. What a night it was!

On Saturday, the 6th of this month, we all gathered under the roof of Britannia Village Hall in London for an extraordinary event - 'Rhythms of India: KalaSudha Cultural Odyssey.' We're still buzzing from the energy and want to take a moment to reflect.

Two incredibly talented artists, Pt. Debasis Chakroborty and Sanju Sahai joined us on stage. With his slide lap guitar, Pt. Debasis Chakroborty painted a melodious canvas while Sanju Sahai's hands danced on the tabla, creating rhythms that resonated within us all. Together, they took us on a journey through the heart of India's musical landscape.

To our wonderful audience who were there with us, thank you for being part of the KalaSudha family. Your enthusiasm made this event a roaring success. To those who couldn't make it, we've got good news!

We captured all the precious moments from the event and will share them on our YouTube channel. Whether you want to relive the experience or be a part of it for the first time, follow us at https://www.youtube.com/@kalasudha. The magic of 'Rhythms of India: KalaSudha Cultural Odyssey' is coming soon to your screens.

Remember, the story of KalaSudha is not just about us; it's about you, too. It's about every music lover who believes in the transcendent power of melodies and rhythms. So, stay tuned to our journey and let's keep the music playing!

Came up with a new guitar tiuning yesterday. E B D# E B E. The idea is that the lower 3 strings act as a #tanpura drone, the melody played on the upper 2, with that E in the middle alternating between the drone and melody. Trying with some #banjo-inspired finger picking rolls. Good times! #Music #Guitar #GuitarTuning #MusicTheory #IndianClassicalMusic #Musodon #Bluegrass

I just got an event notice on Facebook for a #Carnatic #IndianClassicalMusic concert here in #Aarhus in February, and already the New Year is looking up :-). ICM concerts are extremely rare here and the last Carnatic concert was cancelled because of visa issues, so fingers crossed!
