Here it is — date and venue are now confirmed for the Shabash DC launch party. As I blogged previously, Shabash 2.0 is the recently released national guide to South Asian arts & culture. It’s a beautiful coffee-table style book (available online for $19.99, shipping included) covering music, art, film, dance, politics, religion, and culture featuring contributors from 8 cities in the US and Canada. It’s an incredible effort by the excellent Artwallah folks in LA.

The DC launch details are below. I’ll be DJing an eclectic and funky mix of South Asian diasporic and worldy electronic sounds. And of course copies of Shabash will be available for sale. Contact me at [info at aishanimusic dot com] for more information and to get the email invite.
