Diwali in Vancouver: Lots of intercultural fusion happening!
Tarun
Nayar is one of the key people involved in “Beats Without Borders”
which has grown into a musical cultural fusion extravaganza.
Tarun has sent me the following information about some special events
during Diwali – “the festival of lights” which symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind.

Without Borders is gearing up for its first big party of the winter;
and it should be spectacular. DJs Amar (SF) and Layla (OR) join us from
out of town, Andrew Kim opens the night on electric sitar and eastern
violin, and we'll have special guest dancers and live dhol and tabla.
This is a two room party: expect a high-energy masala of sound and
light to warm up the dancefloor and shake off those fall blues! Last
year, this was one of our biggest parties of the year. We've just
released another 50 tickets to Highlife Records, so if you're looking
for 10$ tickets, that's where to head :o)
