India Classical Music At Makawao Union Church
|
November 02, 2011 | 03:20 PM 5th Annual Classical Music of India Concert: Saturday (Nov. 5), 6pm pre-show dinner / 7:30pm concert, Makawao Union Church (1445 Baldwin Ave.), $15 online / $20 cash at door; talarecords.com
Nothing makes my heartstrings soar like a master's bow drawn on catgut. And thanks to teen years tuned into Tool's percussionist Danny Carey, whenever I've the pleasure of hearing tabla drumming–namely by Ty Burhoe, one of the world's preeminent tabla drummers, who frequents Maui–I can't help but let my noggin buffet as if in the pit of a prog rock concert. Saturday's fifth annual Classical Music of India Concert compounds these two vibratory vices (in a very calm, cultured way)–so I suppose I'm in for an ear candy overdose. Burhoe's beats are joined by Maestro Kala Ramnath, "the world's great North Indian violinist... a contemporary torch-bearer of the Mewati Gharana [who] stands among the most outstanding and brilliant instrumental musicians in the North Indian classical genre." Arrive early to enjoy dinner by Monsoon India (their all-new "vegetarian feast" includes veggie biryani, mutter paneer, veggie and aloo pakoras, raita, mint chutney and naan for just $8; with tandoori chicken available for an additional $3), plus kombucha teas, chai and raw desserts (like their "bunny spice" pie, goji chiffon and "cacao caliente" tort) by Maui Kombucha. (PS: The pair recently announced the forthcoming release of their album Samay Chakra, which "features eight classical ragas [that] reflect the shifting moods of the day and night." Only a few hundred pre-release copies are available, and pre-orders can be placed at tyburhoe.com; $9.99/$14.99/$15.99.)
