8 pm, at Mills Hall - The Whirling Dervishes of Rumi. Founded by the great philosopher and writer Rumi in the 13th century, the ritual known as the sema is performed by the dervishes in a prayer trance. Accompanied by chanting and live music with flutes, string and percussion, the dervishes perform a mesmerizing seven-century old ritual which unites the mind, the heart and the body, gradually reaching rapid, spinning ecstasy.

7 pm - Karsh Kale, who with his band blends elements of Indian classical music, dub, drum and bass, jungle, reggae, and ambient to create what he calls Urban Raag. With his innovative electric tabla playing and overall musical vision, Kale is creating a new style and sound aesthetic.

Karsh Kale is not to be missed. I was blown away when I saw him perform in San Francisco a couple years ago.

We're definitely going to see him. I'll prolly miss out on the dervishes, but the carnatic stuff would be cool too. I've seen the Tabla Beat Science DVD, and it was amazing.

Do you know how he does his shows? Is it a combination of sampling/sequencing and his drums, or does he have a backing group or DJ's or does he DJ himself? I so love Indian-electronica.

When I saw him it was a solo performance with his drums. But that was a small appearance at a record store that Six Degrees Records had put together. A full-scale concert appearance may be considerably more elaborate.
