Our
Live from...Where? series continues with "something completely different": a Kirtan. A kirtan is a group singing/prayer session accompanied in the rhythmic and melodic Indian sacred music tradition on tabla, kartals (finger cymbals) and harmonium (a small portable pump organ). This is a participatory event and you are invited to come and join voices at our living room performance space in Bridgeport or at home in your living room.

(Almost) Live from... Where? with our special guests,
Afro-Semitic Experience, recorded live right here at the station in December.
