The week before last the girlfriend and I went to an Indian music festival in Kyoto. Initially I was a little hesitant because I wouldn't describe sitar as my instrument of choice but I was pleasantly surprised to find the experience relaxing and refreshing. The 'concert' took place in a small temple near downtown Kyoto - I had expected more people to come and a larger setup but in the end fewer than 20 people came and we were entertained by three players with exceptional command over the sitar, electric sitar and drums respectively. Apologies in advance for the quality of the pictures, my camera dislikes lowlight conditions with a passion that borders on religious fervour.
