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.
