Join us for a workshop with Mohamed Assani! Now part of our global culture, South Asian music has touched audiences around the world – whether it be through Bollywood songs, bhangra rhythms, kirtan, Sufi qawwali or Ravi Shankar’s sitar. In this workshop for the general public, participants will be introduced to basic melodic patterns and learn an Indian rhythmic time-cycle. Since Indian music uses complex rhythms, Mohamed will teach specific counting techniques & exercises to boost participants’ understanding of this music. Participants can also take part in some interactive musical exercises, including learning how to recite tabla rhythms and count the beat cycles.

This workshop is free and open to the general public, but space may be limited. To register, email fleetstudios@othersights.ca
