Powers EDITOR Becca Martin-Brown 479-872-5054 bmartin@nwadg.com Twitter: NWAbecca REPORTERS Monica Hooper mhooper@nwadg.com April Wallace awallace@nwadg.com (479) 770-3746 DESIGNER Deb Harvell ! UP WHAT'S ON THE COVER "I often say that the tabla can speak — almost as if it has a tongue," says Sandeep Das. "If you want to find out what I mean, you should come to the concert!
