Music of the Himalayas: Anna Stirr and Ram Kumar Singh
People always find a way to make music, crafting instruments out of materials at hand: drums, stringed instruments, and flutes all have variants around the world, with sonorities unique to their region. This weekend brings a rare opportunity to hear the music of the Himalayas – a part of the world that, despite its remoteness, is rich with cross-cultural influences. Two of the musicians, Anna Stirr and Ram Kumar Singh, joined the show to introduce us to some remarkable music. Anna Stirr and Ram Kumar Singh will perform Music of the Himalayas Saturday and Sunday at the East-West Center’s Imin Center – Jefferson Hall.
- Intro Music: Dhimal/Newar/Jhumra by Ram Kumar Singh
