THREE COURSE CONCERT! WITH NISTHA RAJ AND CHRISTLEZ BACON: A NIGHT OF INDIAN FOOD, DRINK, AND MUSIC

Featured Sponsor: TBD

“When you think of Indian classical music, you probably don’t expect to hear beat box, or strains of jazz, and even rock. But that’s exactly what Nistha Raj is all about. The violinist is mixing classical Hindustani music with modern sounds to bring it to a new generation of music lovers.” –NPR

“Christylez expresses his own kind of cool—the kind that allows him to set aside the conventional hip-hop rulebook. His music is affable and clever, much like the artist himself.” –Washington City Paper

Enjoy three courses of Indian-inspired food and drink separated by three full sets of unforgettable music by Hindustani violinist Nistha Raj and DC-based, Grammy-nominated progressive hip-hop artist Christylez Bacon! Their collaborative works mix genres of music native to their cultural upbringings and exploring the spaces between Hindustani classical music, acoustic Hip-Hop, and Go-Go from Washington, D.C. Together they create a spicy blend of jazz, rock, and beat box to put an entirely new spin on Indian classical music.
