INDIA: Diminished Duo: Jansky Tamamsky and Ayki Ayk

 Bohemians or drifters, call them what you may, but for Jansky Tamamsky and Ayki Ayk, its the streets they call home and random people, their family. 

"We call ourselves the Diminished Duo. It is too cold in Europe now, so we have come here to play music," said Jansky from Turkey, in between playing his trumpet and singing. Ayki is originally from Czechoslovakia but his family is in Marseilles now. He wowed the audience gathered in front of a Park Street shop with his jumbush, a stringed instrument that he plays with lan. 

"Both of us were playing on the streets of Istanbul, when we met and decided to be together. We made money on the streets and saved some to travel all the way to India since we had heard a lot about this country," he said. "Even the common people know a lot about music here and the women are simply beautiful," added Ayki.(India Times)
