11:00am - 1:00 pm performance, with free, open jam session from 1:00-2:00pm
We are excited to partner with NC RAGA REVIVAL to bring their concert SERIES SHOWCASING THE MUSIC OF THE SOUTH ASIAN DIASPORA AND COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER WORLD MUSIC ARTISTS, to the NCMA Auditorium.
"For hundreds of centuries, raga has formed the backbone of Indian classical music, offering a guideline for musicians to improvise when performed live. Ragas-which roughly translates to "coloring"-are still played throughout India and were first popularized stateside by sitar master Ravi Shankar in the sixties, piquing the interest of The Beatles, John Coltrane, Carlos Santana, and others who began to incorporate its stylings and Indian instrumentation into their own work. Forty years later, raga is now seeing a renewed interest right here in the Triangle. A loose collective known as N.C. Raga Revival has been congregating every month over the past four years to jam raga-style and share a mutual passion for this ancient technique not regularly heard locally. Their sessions are offering a fresh, a modern approach to a centuries-old music-and its popularity has continued to grow."
