Asheem Da: We will miss you…
Our sincerest condolences to Asheem Da’s family and band mates. You will be deeply missed.
As one of our crew here at LiveIsBetter remembers Asheem:
“I had the pleasure of meeting Asheem just a few months back during their tour stop in Berkeley. I must confess I was really scared of meeting the band, especially Asheem. From the way I saw the band, I had thought Asheem would be the one who would give me a real hard time. Well, I was completely proven wrong. During the entire interview which encompassed their arrival to the venue, stage setup, sound check, encore and post concert meet and greet, I would speak to him the most. We talked about the initial days, the struggle to popularity and his passion for music. I had helped him set up his ‘tabla table’ during the stage setup. It was the second time that he was going to play tabla whilst standing. And since I had suggested the arrangement, he reciprocated by taking a picture of mine with the entire stage setup. (I wish I had the picture) Such was his simple demeanor, charming and attractive. After the concert, he had sternly ordered me to stay in touch. Wish I could make him keep his end of the promise. I am deeply devastated by the news and will miss him.“
