merchimerchThe resident Indian music specialist at UCSC recently mentioned that he tries to make a point of announcing when REALLY amazing concerts are coming to his series, since he realizes that not everyone can come to everything. He's pitching this concert on Sunday as a 1 in a few years type experience worth catching if at all possible.
These are folk musicians from the Western desert province of Rajathan and a reported to give a very lively concert. Those in the Bay area, I'd encourage you to come and check it out if you have the time on a Sunday evening. Should be an amazing show.
Indian Music Concert
Rupayan
Sunday, October 12, 2008 - 7:30 - 10:30 p.m.
Music Center Recital Hall
Rupayan is a vibrant representation of the unique music of the desert land of Rajasthan, India. The group was founded by the late ethnomusicologist Komal Kothari for the preservation of folk culture and music especially of the Manganiar and Langa community in the region of Rajasthan, India. These are powerful musicians whose lyrics tell of love, separation, heroism, patriotism, respect for nature, marriages, birth and death, and every aspect of life and human expression. The hypnotic music features extraordinary rhythmic virtuosity on the khadtal, the driving beats of the dholak, the beautiful sarangi, played almost in classical style, and the enigmatic kamaycha, providing melodic support to the remarkable vocals.
*Admission: $10 general, $8 seniors, $6 students, $2 UCSC students w/ID
