Fri 27 Oct Tallebudgera - Peru the Singing Woman (plus workshop on 28th)
Posted on behalf of Ken Jacob...
PERU – The Singing Woman
Fri 27th Oct
at Tallebudgera Valley Community Centre
Peru is a potent singer of the divine feminine, weaving intoxicating chant, spoken word , sacred song with native, eastern instruments and world beats.
When Peru was young her Grandfather, a traveling musician, took her under his wing recognizing her talent for singing. Later on is was his belief that spurred her on to follow that passion . She earned her place in the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, achieving a degree in Jazz Performance.
She started out a little fish struggling to find her place in the big pond of the Sydney jazz scene. With her immense determination, she pushed herself to the forefront until she was singing with the best. And yet this did not fulfill her, she knew there was more to sing for………..
Change of Direction - Peru tells the story:
"One day in the early '90s I went to the Ocean on the Bronte rocks in Sydney and asked the Ocean and the wind to help me sing. I let all my knowledge and concepts of music fall away in total surrender. I sang and sang, nothing I had ever sung before. It felt so incredible, that day after day I went to this special place and sang no words, just sound from the timelessness inside. It felt ancient. I sang with the Ocean and it opened in me. The full moon opened in me and the wind, as I sang in this mindless place.
Then I realized the Earth was pulling me in. I felt her pain, fell to my knees and promised I would give my life to singing for her. Shortly after this promise an indigenous Elder came in to my life and I journeyed with him for ten years. Humanity's ancient history was woven in to me through much chant, ceremony and living close to the earth.
Peru sings for the Earth, the Divine Feminine weaving layers of intoxicating chant, the spoken word and songs of sacred love and eternal truth. She combines grooves, tabla, strings, flutes & exotic Middle Eastern instruments to create a New World music unique to her.

Oct 12/13 Maleny/Coolum - The Mystical Arts of Tibet Tour
Posted on behalf of The Art of Mother Earth...
The Art of Mother Earth and the Dalai Lamas office proudly present:-
For the first time in Australia – the Dalai Lama's monks from the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery
The Mystical Arts of Tibet Tour.
Maleny Community Centre Thursday 12th October 730pm
Coolum Civic Centre Friday 13th October 730pm
Bookings : 0754 999 579 or maleny@tpg.com.au Cost: $20/$15
"Tashi Lhunpo was founded by H.H. the 1st Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gendun Drup, in 1447. It is one of the four great monasteries of Central Tibet which was supervised and looked after by the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas and has the glory of producing thousands of renowned scholars in the field of Mahayana Buddhist Philosophy. After the invasion of Tibet in 1959, Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was re-established at Bylakuppe in South India in 1972. The monastery has monks coming from Tibet and Himalayan regions like Spithi, Khunu, Ladakh, Ghashar and Sangkhar. At present there are over 250 monks including many Tulkus (reincarnate lamas). The monks have to go through year intensive program of study of both sutra and tantra, debate, and are instructed in the creation of sand mandalas and butter sculpture, ritual performance, music, chanting, dance and basic literary skills in Tibetan and English. Each monk must also complete a two to three month meditation retreat for each of the principal deities and protectors, in order to qualify to perform their rituals. The cycle of retreats might take up to six years to complete.
"THE TIBETAN ART OF DIVINATION"
Hear about your past, present and future. Tibetan "Mos" are personal readings for the clearing of all obstacles in your path.
Personal psychic readings by Ngakchen Rinpoche Tenzin Tsultrim. Ngakchen, master of Sutra and Tantra, is one of the most respected re-incarnated Lamas of Tibet, and Senior Monk of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.
According to Tibetan Buddhist systems, when a divination is performed the practitioner enters into a visualisation practice and invokes the energies/blessings of the deity associated with that form of divination. The practitioner communicates with the wisdom aspect of the deity's mind, which is none other than our own deep mind. This communication can occur through a variety of mediums. It will be a 30 minute personal reading and there is a minimum offering of $55 for this service.
The readings will be held at the WorldView Centre in Maleny on Thursday 12 October & Friday 13 October from 1000am.
Bookings: 0754 999 579 or maleny@tpg.com.au

Fri 6 Oct BEMAC - "Made in India"
Posted on behalf of BEMAC...
BEMAC Cultivart 'MADE IN INDIA'
FRIDAY 6 October 2006 - 8.00pm
A gifted Veena player, a renowned percussionist, a sophisticated sitar artist, and an experienced vocalist will render the audience speechless at the Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BEMAC) Cultivart event 'Made in India' on Friday 6 October 2006.
As part of its Cultivart series 2006, BEMAC presents four brilliant Brisbane-based artists, all with different musical experiences nonetheless united by one element - their passion for true Indian music.
Let loose with Rajyashree Josyer Shrikanth as she shows how a national instrument - the Veena - is skillfully played in delightful Gayaki (vocalist) style.
The plucked string instrument, central to Carnatic (South Indian) music, will be jovially joined by another prestigious instrument, the Tabla, commanded by Master Tabla Dheeraj Shrestha.
A professional musician and passionate teacher, Dheeraj Shrestha ha sestablished a global profile as India's renowned Tabla player and Australia's leading Indian percussionist, having toured countries such as UK, Canada, USA and Southeast Asia and performed locally including SydneyArts Festival, Port Fairy and Woodford Folk Festival.
Music has always occupied a central place in the imagination of Indians but it is even more fascinating when a foreigner takes interest in a traditional Indian instrument such as a sitar.
Huib Schippers, currently directing the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre at Griffith University, belongs to the first generation of western sitar players to perform in India, learning from world-renowned Ali Akbar Khan, regarded by many as the most impressive Indian instrumentalist of the twentieth century.
Rahim Zullah, though born in the foreign land of Fiji, is not so foreign to Indian Classical music. Coming from a family of Indian music lovers, Rahim has given several solo and group performances through local and international multicultural festivals and concerts, cleverly using his voiceto share his rich heritage and culture.
Tickets are sold at $16 full price - concession and member discounts available. For bookings, phone BEMAC on (07) 3391 4433.
Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre is a non-profit organisation working to foster cultural diversity through and within the arts.
