Sat 12 Apr Clayfield: Spirit of Bhakti with Radha and Menaka

Since I last wrote at the beginning of the year, I've had a rewarding month with my family in Varanasi, where I among other experiences I took a 4 day workshop with tabla maestro Taalyogi Pt Suresh Talwalkar. I'm looking forward to incorporating some great new material into my repertoire!

Coming up this Saturday in Clayfield I'll be accompanying Radha Bornstein for some beautiful original devotional music. This time we'll be joined by special guest vocalist Menaka Visvanathan, who sings some amazing harmonies with Radha's songs, as well as improvising in a gorgeous Indian classical style. I think this combination is really going to blow some minds. We'll also be performing on the Sunshine Coast later in the month.

Coming up: Bart Stenhouse, Toothfaeries and Tibet2Timbuk2, then a little Japan trip for the Flindell family.

Sun Nov 10 Sunnybank: Sarod recital by Pandit Rajan Kulkarni (Pune) with Shen

Hi folks,

A couple of weeks back I had a beautiful concert in West End with devotional singer Radha Bornstein, and this Saturday 
we are performing at the Gold Coast Yoga Centre. We have another show in Fortitude Valley later this month. 

Also this weekend, on Sunday I'll be accompanying visiting sarod player Pt Rajan Kulkarni. Having watched his Youtube clips I'm really excited about this concert. It's very rare for us to get really good Indian classical instrumentalists visiting Brisbane.

THIS WEEK Maleny, Brisbane, Mullumbimby: Prof Ritwik Sanyal (Dhrupad vocal)

Hi folks,

One final reminder about our very special concerts this weekend with Dhrupad exponent, Prof Ritwik Sanyal. Tomorrow night at the "Encounters: India" Festival we are opening "The Ensemble" concert, followed by khayal singer Shubha Mudgal, her husband, tabla master Aneesh Pradhan (aka Bobby Singh's tabla guru), and Carnatic percussion group Shruthi Laya Ensemble. 

Prof Sanyal's performances thus far have been some of the most popular items at the Encounters Festival, however they have been very short. I really recommend coming to one of our full-length Dhrupad concerts: in Maleny on Friday 17th, a morning workshop and concert in Oxley on Sunday 19th, and a sunset concert in a beautiful home near Mullumbimby also on Sunday 19th. The tour flier is attached below.
Dhrupad is the oldest form of North Indian Classical Music, and is very meditative and serene compared to modern Indian Classical Music. According to Prof Sanyal-ji,  "Dhrupad is not a specific genre with its peculiarities but an universal representation of sound a beautiful and endless journey to eternity. In the process we enjoy the sound of life and grow every moment both existentially and spiritually. It is a prayer for the universe for the well-being of mankind…. Let us all get absorbed and take part in this never ending journey into the realm of sound…."
We hope to see you at one of these very special events. Please email me at shen@ethnosuperlounge.com for bookings.

We will also be doing a few more concerts in and around Brisbane dedicated to Prof Sanyal's Dhrupad solo: in Maleny on Friday 17th, a morning workshop and concert in Oxley on Sunday 19th, and a sunset concert in a beautiful home near Mullumbimby also on Sunday 19th. The tour flier is attached below.
