MYSTICISM OF SOUND AND TEA ~ AN INTIMATE SOCIAL EVENING OF LIVE SITAR, TABLA AND TEA

  • Globe House Yoga 18-22 Crucifix Lane London, England, SE1 3JU United Kingdom (map)

We invite you to experience the celestial sounds of Jonathan Mayer on sitar and Denis Kucherov on tabla & handpan as they create a transcendent sonic journey that will transport you to the mystical India.

The sitar, a stringed instrument with a distinct sound, is synonymous with Indian classical music. Its intricate melodies and soothing tones have been used for centuries to evoke emotions and tell stories. Whether it's the meditative notes of Ravi Shankar or the contemporary fusion sounds, the sitar has become an iconic symbol of India's musical heritage.

Accompanying the sitar is another essential element of Indian music - the tabla. This pair of hand drums adds rhythm and depth to compositions, creating a captivating blend of melody and percussion. The tabla's versatility allows it to adapt to various genres from classical ragas.


But what does all this have to do with tea? Well, in India and China tea has always been more than just a beverage; it's an integral part of everyday life. From morning chai rituals to social gatherings, tea brings people together and nourishes both body and soul.

When you combine the sounds of India with sipping on a cup of living tea that comes from wild old growing tea trees, you create an immersive sensory experience. The harmonious melodies resonate within you as you savor each sip, transporting you to a world where time slows down and worries fade away.

So join us on this musical journey through India's vibrant traditions as we explore how the sounds of sitar and tabla can be perfectly complemented by indulging in a cuppa that not only delights your taste buds but also nourishes your mind and body. Get ready for an experience that will awaken your senses like never before.
