Rishikesh - Classical concert

---

Saw a classical India concert in Swarg ashram. Talked to an Israeli woman on the way, she'd been living in an Ashram for a year. She recommended loads of Yoga teachers to me.

Concert started late but it was worth it. First acts were six Indian school girls, sounded nice. Everyone moved forward for the second act. Local group, a vocalist, violin and tabla. The tabla player was really good. A guy I met was really going for it, dead strange dancing ala Bez from the Happy Mondays. Tried my best to bite my lip.

Last act were awesome. Apparently the best Tabla player in India with two sitar players. He lived up to his reputation. An hour or so of improvisation, really impressed.

Strangest part of the night was at the end. Everyone clapped in time. Heavy.
