The Nada Brahma Music Ensemble is a Davis-based Indian Classical Fusion group, started by Matthew Grasso, that will treat you on an evening of Raga and Tala. Their music is 100% improvised and is manifested on a unique 25-string raga guitar with the traditional percussion of North India, the tabla. Witness their skill in rhythmic complexity (Tala) expressed in cycles of 4 3⁄4, 9 1⁄4, and 5 1⁄2. The universal tranquility that emanates from the Raga (melody forms) will transport you to another world.
