Indian Influences

One of the things we enjoy about Southern California is the diverse cultural landscape. We had blogged before about "Paneer Avenue" and the Indian community here; but, had not mentioned the music scene. On a recent farmers market trip to buy some flowers, pretzels and juice for the kids, etc. we happened upon an innovative sitar player Ronobir Lahiri who was was lighting up the market with his melodic riffs and moving the market goers to impromptu dance and half dancing (think car dancing up until the driver in the car next to you catches your eye). On Sunday around dinner time we were making a batch of breads, drinking some wine, and listening to an Ronobir album we had purchased at the market. A link to his music site is attached, something very different and relaxing.
