Last night we had a cultural evening with our ciee study group. First, we had a fusion band come and play for us at our house. Fusion music is a mix of classical Indian music a.jpg)
nd Western music. The band had six members each playing a different instrument. The classical Indian musicians played the sitar, the tabla, and a violin played in the Indian style. The Western musicians played the electric guitar, the keyboard, and a drum pad. The music was very enjoyable. My favorite part of the performance, however, was watching the musicians. The way they interacted through their facial expressions and body positionings while they were playing was amazing. It was almost as though they were acting as much as they were playing music.

performance, we went to a restaurant/bar called Fusion 9 - "fusion" was the theme of the evening. This is a very popular place in Hyderabad because it is swanky, has good multi-cultural food and music, and many foreign visitors like to hang out there. The food was some of the best I have had in India. We started with an assortment of plated appetizers. The chicken kabobs that were particularly amazing. Then we had a buffet with an assortment of Indian, Chinese, and Western food. We were all thrilled to have brownies for dessert - we've all been craving chocolate. As an aside, don't worry about our drinks in the picture, they are virgin pina coladas. Although, there doesn't seem to be a documented legal drinking age here. It was a great evening out.
