Sat 10 Jan Sandgate: Music by the Sea Festival - Mamadou Diabate + Circle of Rhythm

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Happy New Year everybody!!! I had a very pleasant relaxing weight-gaining period with my family over in Perth. I hope you had a great holiday season too.

I've got just one gig this month before I head to India for 2 months starting Jan 25. On Jan 23 I'll be gathering some musos at Checocho Cafe, hopefully featuring Tibet2Timbuk2 and other EthnoSuperLounge friends. Stay tuned for more info.

Have you got your copy of Tibet2Timbuk2's new CD "Music is Life" yet? It's a great CD, so please check it out at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop. Proceeds go to support Tibetan Children's Village.
