There are a couple of great Asian music events coming up in Chicago:

Friday at noon Mia Park presents Silk Road Sounds. Mia, whose many activities include playing drums in various bands, hosting an indie music/puppet show on Chicago TV and writing the occasional review for this site, will bring Korean fan and drum music and Tibetan Buddhist chanting to Millennium Park.

There will be a Javanese puppet show at the Cultural Center on Sunday. For those of you who've never gotten to see wayang kulit (Indonesian Shadow puppets) and hear their gamelan musical accompaniment, this is a great opportunity.

See you this weekend!
