Bombay

Bombay- Thursday December 15th
Went to an incredible concert tonight at the park in
Horniman Circle, Peruvan Kuttan Marar and Group,
from the Kerala region of southern India...
it was a huge ensemble of several dozen drummers (my ears are still ringing)
and two dozen or so horn players- wearing only white silk sarongs.
Musically it would be impossible to describe,
as it was really a visceral, trance inducing experience, but in a pinch
I would have to say Jujuku meets Kodo drummers...
the guys behind me were screaming and thrashing about as the music
built into these wild rythmic climaxes, and the older gentleman beside me
was waving his arms in the air the entire time.
Bombay is an incredible city, but quite exhausting,
I think I need to go to sleep!
