“Shringara Nepal” brings together cousins who are two of Indian music’s most noted performers: Parashuram Bhandari on sarangi and Achyut Ram Bhandari on tabla (accompaniment provided by Babette Ackin on tamboura). Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see and hear why Indian ragas are known to be passionate, colorful expressions of moods and emotions.
As independent artists, Parashuram and Achyut have published a total of seven books on sarangi and tabla and have both received national musical awards in Nepal. Between them, the two artists have performed in 15 countries including India, Thailand, China, Singapore, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Germany. “Shringara Nepal”’s newest CD “Shringara Nepal in Hawaii” was released in October.
