The early performance is a workshop with the fabulous Quique Escamilla, exploring our Spanish songs, the second a very special presentation blending Latin and adult contemporary songwriting with south Indian classical motifs and ragas, world music at it’s finest. Exotic and mysterious, my very special guest will be Subhadra Vijaykumar
