Tue 25 Nov West End: Shubhendra Rao (sitar) & Ty Burhoe (tabla)

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I've been super-busy with the blogging in the last few days, and have finally caught up on all the stories from my packed final month in Japan. I've written about my Greenhouse sojourn including the Lakshmi Party, Tokyo concerts with Taro Terahara and Atsuko Maeda (Kathak dance), a concert in Niigata with Taro Terahara, 10 days touring Kyushu with Hide Iwai (sitar), an mbira session in Sasayama, and an unexpected concert on my last night in Osaka with Gina Sala (healing vocals). I've written all the thank yous to many many people in Japan Tour 2008: Acknowledgements.

And I've announced the fact that the new CD by Tibet2Timbuk2 "Music is Life" is available online now. It's a great CD, please check it out at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop. Proceeds go to support Tibetan Children's Village.

I don't have any concerts organised for the next while, but I especially want to announce Tuesday's concert in West End by Shubhendra Rao (sitar) & Ty Burhoe (tabla). I have seen Shubhendra Rao performing in Varanasi and I highly recommend listening to his sitar. His accompanist and regular visitor to Australia Ty Burhoe is also an excellent tabla player. Both are disciples of top Indian classical artists Pt. Ravi Shankar (sitar) and U. Zakir Hussain (tabla). They are also performing in Bangalow on Thursday.

Mal Webb in town and T2T2 CD launch

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I've really been enjoying allowing myself to be free of all this computer work in the last month in Japan. I've had some great gigs and other adventures, from Tokyo and Niigata to Kyushu in western Japan before returning to Kyoto and Osaka for the flight home. I'll do my best to blog those stories in the next few days.....

But first I want to announce the long-awaited launch of Tibet2Timbuk2's new CD, "Music is Life" on Saturday November 15 at the Brisbane Powerhouse. It's a great CD with some new never-before heard tracks which we'll be performing on the night, with surprise special guests. Unbelievably, T2T2 didn't get into Woodford (again!) this year, and with Tenzin and Marcello both being busy with other projects I imagine this will be our last show for the year. We're really excited about playing at the Powerhouse, and I hope you will come and share the moment! You can get tickets online through the CD sponsors, Perfect Potion.

BTW you can catch a sneak preview of a (highly MP3ed) new song on the C-Realm podcast episode 126.

Sat Nov 15: Tibet2Timbuk2 @ Powerhouse!

Perfect Potion presents Tibet2Timbuk2
Announcing the launch of the new CD "Music is Life"

book your ticket on line now

Perfect Potion proudly presents Tibet2Timbuk2 and their upcoming CD launch. Tibet2Timbuk2 will be appearing at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday 15 th November, 8pm and a percentage of the sale proceeds from the CD Launch night will be donated to Tibetan Children’s Orphanage.

Since their organicoustic world debut, Tibet2Timbuk2 have gone to perform and record eclectic group arrangements, namely Daway Wola, Beautiful Girl and Crane Song, which are all featured in the new CD and sees them the winner of 2008 Q Song Awards’ BEMAC World Music Award.

Tibet2Timbuk2 is collaboratively three talented musicians; Tenzin Choegyal who draws on traditional Tibetan roots, singer-songwriter and guitarist Marcello Milani and free-spirited classical tabla player Shen Flindell. Together, they share bass, percussion, harmony and melody roles to create a solid yet easy groove. And while Tibet2Timbuk2 perform as a three piece, they say they do like to invite soloists to join them. Regular guest artists, Taro Terahara (bansuri - Indian bamboo flute), Peter Hunt (trumpet) and Lansana Camara (kora ? African harp) also have collaborated on recordings with Tibet2Timbuk2 on their new CD.

It comes as no surprise when Brisbane-based certified natural and aromatherapy skin care company, Perfect Potion, decided to support Tibet2Timbuk2. As a commitment to the community and its team members, Marcello (who also commits his time to working at Perfect Potion) and Sal and Carolyn (the owners) collaborated to support the launch and production of the new CD.

On the night, audiences will be taken on a journey from the meditative to the joyous with music blends that are full and organic. And the team at Perfect Potion, will be there, with the focus clearly on celebrating Tibet2Timbuk2’s success to date.
