indian music involves a lot of improvisation it doesn't really have written a change of melodies and rhythms are passed on from teachers to their students it's a rich tradition. and it's easier to topple a concert is like that than those of the day. and the audience has their hands in the air because they're celebrating the music it's all in spanish you have for les tarr and india its. emissions. you can really tell this is the music of the people who seek the light the. alongside the tablas and the contact answers there's a drum set i'm a river and the set of chimes the question brings them all together. their

10:40 pm
result clapping and the question language could of course all belong together. later the. pace is picking up the guru is a demanding teacher the indian musicians still have an advantage but the germans are catching up. aside from learning new rhythms they're also learning the philosophy behind this music. really really. down to live music and we put it good if. you're going to music. that ultimately comes from your heart. david this. movie the knowledge is also there with the thickening

giving their best on the long stay of the workshop in india everything has to run smoothly the next time they meet will be in pawn in a few months shortly before the concert i thought. that that was. ok they are going to open from there the current definitely has a very rapid teaching pace it's really hard for us to keep up sometimes. the challenge but once i was like this a lot of fun and we've been learning so much because it will feel. the. same. in the indian musicians have learned not to. be. the usual thing. to be for these are not new but i think. their culture and culture to blend it
