Dance Review- The Oregonian
Music indispensable in 'Krishna Bhakti': Jayanthi Raman is the rare dancer whose body can contain multiple intricate rhythms simultaneously -- juxtaposing a slowly descending, ornately curved arm against a quick percussive burst of footwork, for instance, her feet accenting the sharp trill of an accompanying tabla even as she accompanies herself on handheld chimes.......10/14/03 CATHERINE THOMAS
