Vinay Desai joins us to introduce his music and his musical instrument, the santoor, India's 100-string member of the hammered dulcimer family. Vinay is an advanced disciple of santoor superstar Shivkumar Sharma.

Navatman's Drive East Festival - an expansive festival of South Asian performing arts at La Mama in the East Village from August 13th to 19th.
Massive thanks to our fabulous engineer Glenn Luttman!
