Fri 9 May Bris: Balkan Night!!! Zhiva Voda & The Transbalkan Express

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I really enjoyed Chris Berry's show at Ahimsa House on Friday night - he is a great mbira player with refreshing devotion to ceremony, spirit and community. And I enjoyed the late night post-gig acoustic tabla-mbira jam even more! (Unfortunately Elliott didn't send out the gig info until the last minute, so very sorry to you folks who didn't hear about it.)

I've been rehearsing a bit with Tibet2Timbuk2 lately, so look out for gigs and hopefully a new CD in the coming months, before my Japan trip Aug 21-Nov 17.
