Sat 23 Feb West End: Global Soul Music Vol 5 - Saikat, Asim, Cia & Shen

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I have a couple of important shows this week - first up on Friday a lovely home concert in Ocean Shores with touring bansuri player from Nepal, Manose, then on Saturday in West End, the first Global Soul Music for the year. GSM Vol 5 will feature sitar player Saikat Bhattacharya, Persian multi-instrumentalist Cieavash Arean and Sudanese Sufi Bard Asim Gorashi, at the lovely Core Yoga city-view space at 5/72 Vulture St. Book tickets online at ethnosuperlounge.com/shop and get a discount!

I posted a copy of the flier on my blog along with a photo of a rehearsal with Cia, Asim & Saikat, and also some photos of the Bengali Society Saraswati Puja which was held last Saturday and at which Saikat and I played quite well, I think. :-)
