Cape Town Guitarist Derek Gripper will perform one show In Barrydale with master Indian tabla player Udai Mazumdar who is visiting this March whilst on a short tour in South Africa. Udai Mazumdar is a former student and accompanist to the legendary sitar player Ravi Shankar and is an accompanist to many of India's top soloists, playing regular concerts in India, Europe, and the US. Derek Gripper's unique Cape-tinged guitar language has taken him to over eleven countries and earned him a following of South Africans interested in hearing "a new insight into South Africa and its music." Derek and Udai first met while performing together in Switzerland last year, and decided to collaborate once again so as to further explore the "meeting point between Indian classical, Western classical, and the sounds and landscapes of the Western Cape." They will be performing at the Magpie Studio Gardens lawns 27 van Riebeeck Street, Barrydale on Saturday evening 7pm, 20th March 2010. Tickets R50. Bring your own blankets, cushions, picnic basket and drinks.
