Aradhna
On Tuesday night, we had a real treat as we attended our first live music concert in Hyderabad. The band were called Aradhna (which means "worship") and the venue was one of the local Hindu temples. Despite the fact the band were Christian, it was refreshing to see how the Hindu and Christian community worked closely together to put this event on. The band is made up of two Americans (who were both born in India), a Brit and an Indian. It was an amazing concert and something we will both remember for a long time.
The level of musicianship was also outstanding with one of the American guys Christopher mostly singing in Hindi while playing the sitar, the atmosphere in the venue was really unique. We got a chance to speak with the musicians afterwards and congratulate them on a great performance, plus pick up a CD so we can listen to the songs at home. Hopefully this will be the first of many such events that we get a chance to experience during our time in India.

No Way!! My mate in Chelt is good friends with the band members...two of them are married right? Think she was at their wedding last year! Always amazed at how small a world we llive in. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! The guitarist and the violinist are married...she is actually from Carlisle. They were so good, anytime you get a chance to see them (they tour the UK quite a lot), we'd definitely recommend it.
