Never will I forget last night. I watch Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon for the first time ever. That doesn’t sound exciting but, I watched it in Prospect Park on the biggest outdoor screen in NYC and with a new score performed live by Karsh Kale.

A video of the event I found on Youtube, the main focus is the screen. Thanks to pitibabou for the video. This one’s short but there’s a longer one after the cut.

I think anyone that’s seen a Bruce Lee movie will submit to his power to completely entertain. Even when he’s not fighting, his condescending smirks make my day. Bruce Lee exudes awesome to the max, but so did Karsh Kale’s score. It was electronica, Indian pop and underground, it fit Enter the Dragon really well. 

Here’s another video I found on youtube of the event, it’s focused on Karsh with the screen in the background. It’s really dark but you get to hear his great music. Thanks to ARKOLOGI for the video.

Besides the movie, the opening performance made me so happy. It was the traditional Japanese Taiko drumming group Sou Daiko. I’d always wanted to learn how to play these drums and seeing it live made we want to learn even more. It isn’t just playing drums, it’s dancing, yelling and completely enrapturing the audience in a scene. It’s not enough to hear these drummers you have to see them. 

If you live in New York City you have to go to Prospect Park or Summer Stage or McCarren Park pool and check out these cool, free events!
