Experience the Indian musical traditions of Kirtan and Raga in one ecstatic evening. A celebration of life, community, and the Divine, through call-and-response singing and contemplative raga meditations. Be uplifted and inspired, centered and soothed... Sheela Bringi sings and plays the harp, harmonium and bansuri (Indian classical bamboo flute). Joining her will be tabla artist Nabin Shrestha, bass player Brent Kuecker, and instrumentalist Noah R. Wilson. Students in Sheela’s "Indian Devotional & Raga Singing" class at Naropa University will support on response vocals and tamboura (4-string drone instrument).
