Listener comments!
	6:49pm Observations: Going live in 11 minutes!
	7:00pm Observations: LIVE NOW!
	7:07pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Raag Kirwani" by "Kamalesh Maitra" "For over fifty years, Maitra devoted himself to the rare tabla tarang, a set of between ten and sixteen hand drums tuned to the notes of the raag to be performed. While the tabla tarang has its origins in the late 19th century, Maitra was the first to recognise its potential as a solo concert instrument, using the set of tuned drums to perform full-length raags. Seated behind a semi-circular array of drums, Maitra produced stunning waves of melodic improvisation enlivened with the rhythmic invention of a master percussionist."
	7:24pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Estuary Stew" by "Onilu" Joe Chambers: conga, drum kit, idiophones, marimba, shakere, vibraphone Kevin Diehl: batá drums, cajóns, drum kit, electro-acoustic drum kit, guagua, shakere Chad Taylor: alfaia, clave, clay drums, drum kit, mbira, marimba, piano, tongue drum, tympani, vibraphone
