Sat 21 Feb Fortitude Valley: Guitar and Flute in a Melting Pot - Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt & Shashank

Hi folks,

This is a last minute announcement that Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt & Shashank are performing at Judith Wright Centre on Saturday 21st Feb. If I was in town I'd definitely be there. I've also been informed that Shashank is available for bansuri (flute) lessons while in town this week - click on the link above for details.

Shen's News: I'm having a splendid time here by the banks of the Ganga in Nagwa, south Varanasi. I've had a couple of concerts - one on Munna House with Japanese sitar player Yohei, one yesterday in a school with Kathak dancer Kazumi Nishikawa. I'll be blogging those stories some time soon.... In the meantime, I have posted photos and stories of
Tibet2Timbuk2 and friends at Cafe Checocho and my amazing experience on Saraswati Puja at Guru-ji's. This weekend is a big one in Varanasi. Monday is Mahashivaratri (Shiva's Night) so all weekend there are two big music festivals including the Dhrupad Mela. Santoor player Jimi Miyashita is coming to town on Monday and we will play together in a concert next Friday.

Once again I have Tibet2Timbuk2 news - Lucky Oceans will feature Tibet2Timbuk2's "Music is Life" CD on the Daily Planet, Radio National, this Monday Feb 23 (which also happens to be Mahashivaratri - Shiva's Night). The show is on at 220pm and 1120pm. Please tell your friends.

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. If you've heard it and like it, please check out 20 easy ways to help Tibet2Timbuk2.

Fri 6 Feb Nth Bris: Sitar Recital by Partha Bose

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I'm writing to you from the banks of the holy Ganges River - almost literally. Actually I'm sitting in my room in Yoga Mandir, Nagwa; I've managed to get mobile internet which is really slow but at least accessible wherever my laptop goes. I have a little news, including my tabla solo for Saraswati Puja, but have yet to blog it, so it'll have to wait til next time.

I'm especially writing now to announce a very special Indian classical sitar home concert this Friday, by Partha Bose. Highly recommended!
