Sat 26 May Tallebudgera - Terry Oldfield & Soraya Saraswati
Posted on behalf of Ken Jacob Promos...
Ken and Debbie Jacob proudly present:
Terry Oldfield & Soraya Saraswati
Saturday 26th May
Tallebudgera Valley Community Hall
Bansuri flute and world chant – positive vibrations towards world peace tour
Inspired World Music Composer Terry Oldfield and Healer, Sound Resonance Intuitive Soraya Saraswati are playing one show only on the Gold Coast before their tour of Europe . The music is inspired by the tradition of Indian Kiirtan but takes it much further with Terry's soaring flute mel odies and rich production as well as their shared vocals.
Terry began playing the flute on the Island of Hydra in Greece in 1970. The call of the ocean and the tinkering sounds of goat bells on his simple island home inspired him greatly. At this time he also began to practice meditation and contemplation on the mysteries of the realms of sound. Terry spent seven years in this way. During this time Terry travelled extensively throughout India. The mystical magic of India with its colours and music has always been a strong influence on his career and has flavoured his music.
From here he moved into composing music for television in England , America and Europe . He also began a career as a recording artist with over 36 CD's released and three million sales world wide.
Now with Soraya he is creating a devotional world music that signals a new sound and a new phase in Terry's vast landscape of beautifully crafted music. Listen to some music samples for a preview of their new album - Forever One. Check out the website www.terryoldfield.com

Sat 26 May BEMAC - Vesak - A Sri Lankan Experience (free)
Posted on behalf of BEMAC...
Vesak – A Sri Lankan Experience
Free Event
7 pm Saturday May 26 2007
Yungaba, 120 Main Street, Kangaroo Point.
This event is a celebration of the birth, enlightenment and passing of Buddha and is presented by the Queensland Buddhist Vihara (temple) in Goodna.
Born a prince, Siddhartha Gautama was destined to leave his once luxurious life for one of complete worldly detachment. Upon attaining this enlightenment, Gautama was known as Buddha or The Enlightened One. 2551 years ago in India, on a full moon night, Buddha left this earthly life. Each May, Buddhists from all over the world celebrate these three important stages of Buddha’s life.
In today’s world of strife, chaos and war, Buddha’s message of peace and harmony is more relevant than ever. His teaching appeals to people from all walks of life, irrespective of colour, creed or social standing because the teachings are focused on purification of the mind resulting in the transformation of each individual.
The festival will feature a spectacular rotating lantern, made up of 20 individual lanterns with flashing and colour filled light. The lantern is the result of the work of many dedicated volunteers over a 3 month period, using recycled machinery parts to create the ingenious driving mechanism which rotates the lanterns. Hundreds of smaller Vesak lanterns will create an atmosphere of peace and joy and a food stall serving tasty Sri Lankan dishes will also add another dimension to the ambiance of the event. (Ceylon Inns Restaurants)
This event is supported by the Brisbane City Council and the Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre.
Time: 7.00 pm
Venue: Yungaba, 120 Main Street, Kangaroo Point

Sat 19 May West End - Pulse feat. Mohamed Bangoura, Yeshe, Spankinhide
Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...
19th May, Saturday
Pulse – World Music
Featuring:
Mohamed Bangoura
Master drummer and kora player (21 stringed harp) from Guinea, West Africa. Mohamed needs to be seen to be believed. The power and relaxed complexity of this man's musical ability on kora and particularly on djembe is of international standard. His ability to connect with his audience in such a warm and inclusive style is remarkable. You will be blown away!!
Spankinhide
Brisbane's own rocking African rhythm ensemble. There is no doubt, this is dance music of the finest order. Spankinhide will dedicate themselves to your dancing pleasure and will be joined by Mohamed for an awesome climax to a fantastic night of sweet and sexy music.
plus:
Yeshe
Performing on mbira (Zimbabwean thumb piano) and voice, Yeshe performs with a deep sense of purpose and soul, bringing the ancient music of the Shona people into a contemporary Australian meaningfullness. Yeshe is joined by members of Spankinhide in creating a rich and multi-layered soundscape that is enjoyed both in stillness and dance.
Zormiwasa
The addage "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" is clearly demonstrated in Zormiwasa, the student groups of Josie and Elliott. Drumming en-masse carries a power and sense of community found nowhere else, and these students have been working for some time on building a groove that will have you smiling (and hopefully dancing!). Josie's dancers, excited and energetic, will impress upon you the beauty of human movement, African style.
for Pulse regulars please note that this Pulse is not happening at Souths but instead is taking place at Ahimsa House, 26 Horan St. West End.
Doors open 7.30pm Entry is $15 and $12 conc.
Refreshments available.
