SUMMARY:KalaSudha presents Kala Festival 2026: Rhythms of Ragas & of Feet
DESCRIPTION:Wed 23 Sep| 7:00pm - 9:30pm| £25/£30/£35 (Early bird offer t
 ill 9th Sep - £20/£25 /£30) | 20 minute interval\n\nKala Festival 2026 
 returns to The Bhavan for its third concert here\, with an evening built o
 n two kinds of pulse: the raga and the foot.\n\nPandit Debasis Chakroborty
  opens on the Indian slide guitar\, an instrument that came into Hindustan
 i classical music from outside its tradition and now holds a place of its 
 own. He is joined by Ustad Akram Khan on tabla\, and the two build a set t
 hat moves from the slow unfolding of a raga into faster rhythmic exchange\
 , each answering the other.\n\nAfter the interval\, Alokparna Guha takes t
 he stage with Kathak. The same rhythmic cycles that the tabla laid out in 
 the first half now sound through her feet\, in the ankle bells\, the spins
  and the sharp closes on the beat.\n\nThe two halves speak to each other. 
 What the audience hears in the first\, they see in the second. For anyone 
 who has never sat with Indian classical music before\, this is a direct wa
 y in. For anyone who knows it well\, the pairing of slide guitar with Kath
 ak is a rare bill to catch in London.\n\nPlease note that parking restrict
 ions apply on the streets surrounding The Bhavan every day from 8:30 am to
  10:00 pm\, with a maximum parking duration of one hour. However\, visitor
 s to The Bhavan can take advantage of concessional parking with no maximum
