Jugalbandy

Jugalbandy, the classical indian music group featuring Franklin Pereira (Sitar) and Jonathan Cactus Man (Tabla) continued their tour of northern Portugal's indian and vegetarian restaurants with a performance of Raga Myan ki Malhar at Oriente no Porto, a restaurant that also works as a Hare Krishna temple.

Myan ki Malhar is a raga usually associated with India's monsoon season (June-September), but it can also be performed as an evening raga in other times of the year. It is believed to have been created by Myan Tansen, one of India's greatest musicians, in the late 16th-early 17th century, and its mood is one of joy for the return of the rain after many months of drought, balanced by the pain brought by the absence of a lover.
