3/29/2015 Zakir Hussain's Celtic Connections review

This is Charline, World Music/CRASHarts volunteer and avid supporter! Zakir Hussain and friends performed at the Somerville Theatre 3/29/2015, displaying masterful musicianship on the part of 3 Indians and 6 Celtic players from Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany in France, which is Celtic by heritage. I believe the Indians lent depth to the Celtic music and the Celts lent interest to the Indian music. The collaborations, when all 9 were playing, were the best. The rapport and mutual respect and affection onstage were infectious. The audience loved this program, brought to us from a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall.  (From Carnegie Hall to the Somerville Theatre!  You have to love it.)  Click on Read More to see photos.
