Toronto Aradhna Concert Some of you know that I've been a really big fan of Indian classical music for years. So when I happened upon Sitar player and Bhajan singer Chris Hale (from the band Aradhna www.aradhnamusic.com ) at a festival in July 2002, I was pretty excited. Bhajans are the devotional songs of India and Chris had been touring around the world doing concerts in the Hindi language (He grew up in Nepal from the age of 1 and spent most of the last 20 years in India!) When I found out that he would be coming to Toronto do some shows, I decided to organize a house concert with the help of my next-door neighbor Paul (who you can meet in the "Staff" section.)T hese are some photos taken on the day of the concert, November 2002 Please be reminded that these photographs are copyrighted images. That means that you need to get permission by the artist to use them. |
