Sunnyvale<\/b> Today<\/span><\/div>\nSunnyvale’s EnActe Arts is presenting a play that looks at the life of sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar, from his days as a young dancer in Paris to his role as a global icon. The play, ‘Enchantment,’ blends live dance performance with Shankar’s original sitar recordings and compositions, performed by Bombay Jayashri. Later this month, EnActe Arts is also hosting the Anirudh Varma Collective, a group that blends Indian classical, jazz, and contemporary music.<\/p>\n
Why it matters<\/h2>\n
EnActe Arts is bringing diverse South Asian music and dance performances to the Sunnyvale community, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and artistic talent of the region. This helps to promote cultural understanding and appreciation, while also providing opportunities for local residents to engage with and experience these art forms.<\/p>\n
