Diwali & Tihar : Celebrating festivals of Lights from India and Nepal!

Dear friends,

Come and celebrate the Festival of Lights from India and Nepal!

🪔 Experience an evening of culture, music, dance, and flavors from South Asia.
🌟 Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. Homes and streets are illuminated with lamps and candles, while people share joy, love, and sweets.
🌟 Tihar, the Nepalese festival, honors relationships and gratitude — towards animals, loved ones, and deities — through lights, offerings, and traditional songs.

### At Magmaa:

🎶 Indian Classical Music Concert (Khayal):
Cyril David, now based in Brittany after living in Benares since the 1990s, will take you on a musical journey with his sitar.
He will be joined by Alexis Weisgerber, a musician from Nantes, on the tabla, the emblematic North Indian percussion instrument known for its rich harmonics and deep tones.
Khayal music, from North India, was born from the blending of Hindu temple traditions and Indo-Persian culture. It is based on improvisation around ragas — melodic frameworks that express the emotions of the soul, the seasons, and the moments of the day and night — creating a spontaneous dialogue between soloist and accompanist, at the crossroads of classical music, trance, and jazz.

🕺 Evening activities for children and adults
