We say foreigners, but they say that all music can find their root in Indian music...so are they really "foreign" to it. Guru Poornima is time of celebration and coming together. Every year many tabla players from the Taalim School of Indian Music in the US and from around the world get their fill of Indian music when they come for Guru Poornima. Time flies by. It's a great exchange of music and a chance for Amdavadis to see the talent that is being cultivated abroad. Many foreign disciples have graced the stage. Expect more great performances by tabla players born outside of India during our Guru Poornima 2010 celebrations.
