Sounds of South Asia

Join the SJSU King Library for a special exhibit to celebrate the musical traditions and sounds of instruments from South Asian countries — Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Discover many South Asian instruments like the ‘rabab/rubab’ from Afghanistan and its close relative, the ‘sarod’ of India. Many of these instruments are taught and performed by the South Asian diaspora in Silicon Valley.

In celebration of the Sounds of South Asian exhibit, join the SJSU King Library for a special music event and  hear from local musicians as they demonstrate vocal and instrumental music traditions.
