On a different note than most of my entries here, last weekend I went to an Indian classical music concert by <strong>Zakir Hussain</strong> and <strong>Master Pandit Jasraj</strong> and was organized by the <strong>Bay Area Performing Arts</strong> . The concert was amazing, I have seen Zakir a number of times earlier and as always be was mind blowing. This was the first time though I saw Jasraj and did not know he sang Krishan <strong><em>Bhajans</em></strong> . Though I personally don’t care about the Bhajans but the rags he sang were quite amazing too - especially the ones showing his control over this voice where we went all the way from a very high note to a very flat and dull one (like from a bass). And the special treat were the <em><strong>Jugalbandi’s</strong></em> - one has to attend a Zakir concert just for that - oh what fun! If you find out Zakir is playing in your area I would highly recommend checking it out. If it happens to be the first time you zee Zakir hussain then you are going to be blown away by the whole experience.
