LOSAR: A TIBETAN CELEBRATION
It's 2007 in the U.S., but it's 2133 in Tibet
The Tibetan New Year is a three day celebration and we'll jump in the middle with a Himalayan soundscape. We journey to the mountain with music from Choying Drolma, David Parsons and more in an atmosphere where the air is thin and the spirit high.

RASA PLAY LIVE IN A LIVING ROOM CONCERT
Vedic bhajans transformed into a serene global fusion
Rasa is multi-instrumentalist Hans Christian and singer Kim Waters. Christian weaves Indian percussion, cello, nyckleharpes and sarangis around Waters' silky voice, which soothes like a cosmic whisper. In the Echoes Living Room, they bring ancient Indian Bhajans, sacred songs and hymns, to modern life.

THE ECHOES ALTERNATIVE OSCARS
For Your Consideration....Soundtracks the Academy Missed
The best soundtracks of the year aren't necessarily nominated for Academy Awards. But on this Echoes we'll hear music from films that didn't seem to pass Academy muster, but are welcome on the red carpet of Echoes. It's an all-soundtrack show from Oscar outcasts, though don't be surprised if a couple of Academy Award nominees crash the party.
