Music and Food

So much has been happening its hard to remember of what the last few days have consisted. Lots of wonderful food and inspiring talks and discussions. New friends. Last night we were provided with the most incredible concert by Bikram Ghosh - a world famous percussionist who has put together a group called Rhythmscapes that incorporates numerous drums and other percussion from all over India, and even a western style drum kit. It was just an exhilarating performance - it was in a different ball park from the drumming at Elin's wedding in Tahiti, but it felt similar - the effect that such intensely passionate rhythmic music has on you.

After the performance we had a magnificent feast consisting of foods from all over the world so I enjoyed Indian version pesto pasta, and Indian version Chinese noodles, as well as some simply incredible Indian Indian food. I also discovered this lovely drink that they have on tap all the time here. Its hot pink, and is made from prickly pear. You add a little spicy pepper to it - so it is a very strange sensation of salty and sweet and sour.
