We hosted a broadcast (and Free Music Archive MP3s) a while back here on WFMU, and found the Ramas to be three of the sweetest people who we've had the fortune to fill our hallways with music, so it was heartbreaking to hear from Taraka today that their tour had been cancelled due to all their gear and merch being swiped in Philadelphia this past week. I'm sure they'd appreciate all their fans and WFMU listeners to spread the word in getting some help their way so they can continue making their otherwordly sounds. Paypal link here, and more on this great trio here.

Is there a way to help from outside the US? This paypal link only seems to work for US residents...

We (along with Sherman Arts) are having a benefit for them here in Philadelphia @ National Mechanics on November 16th. Hermit Thrushes and a couple of others will perform, and a bizarre film for the collection of Sherman Arts will be screened. More information on our events page soon..

Fred, email them via My Space and I am sure Taraka will give you some kind of info about overseas donations.

Is this Indian Yoga..?? Prince Rama is from India and he is god for Indians. Are you related to this?

Yes you are right. Rama is god for Indians. He is a character of great holly poem called "Ramayana". Rama the god is a prince of Ayodhya. Goddess "Sita" is a wife of "Rama".
