Santoor player and old friend
Jimi Miyashita was in Varanasi for a few days recently. We played a small concert at Munna House, and the following day he played at a concert at sarangi player Kanhaiya Lal Mishra's house in Kabir Chaura, the musician's district of Varanasi. It was nice to see Jimi-san again - hopefully next time will be in Japan later this year. Jimi-san is the organiser of the annual Gifu
Sangeet Mela and a great contributor to Indian classical music in Japan. (Check out our
CD "Rei-Mei".)

Mata-ji's son performing Kathak dance - accompaniment included his younger son on tabla, who I was very impressed with!
