Presented by working title - David Soin Tappeser (drummer& composer); Gustavo Mezo (pianist); and Theo Malka-Wishart (double bassist)
Embracing the intimacy and flexibility of the traditional piano trio format, the group’s game is highly interactive, collaborative and improvisation driven. Interweaving hip-hop-grooves with Ethiopian harmonies, folk tunes with reggaeton and the Beatles with bhangra, the trio’s sounds emanate beyond genre or cultural specificity, infinite, indefinite and open to interpretation

FRONTIERS OF HISTORY
Pastoralisms and Civilizations
Speaker: Prof. Thomas R. Trautmann, well-known scholar of Ancient India and Professor Emeritus of History and Anthropology, University of Michigan; and considered one of the world's leading experts on the Arthashastra, the ancient Hindu text on kinship
Chair: Prof. Nayanjot Lahiri
This lecture will show how the pastoralisms of the ancient civilizations differ from one another, especially the role of animals in armies. The distinctive ideal of Indian “fourfold” armies added elephants to threefold armies of cavalry, chariotry and infantry. This configuration helps explain why the first unification of India by the Nandas and Mauryas came from the eastern region, with its abundance of wild elephants, and not its western region, exposed to the Persian Empire
