Sep 11/12 - Kooii CD launches feat. Tibet2Timbuk2

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I'm really looking forward to Tibet2Timbuk2's concerts this weekend in support of the most excellent Kooii's CD launch, firstly on Saturday at Northey St City Farm (we're on around 7) and then on Sunday up in Crystal Waters (we're on around 3pm I think). Our next shows are in October, at Bellingen Global Carnival Oct 1-3 and then a couple of shows Oct 16-17 including Qld Multicultural Festival. Tenzin and I will be off to Japan for a few weeks after that.

I've had a bit of time off, ruined a laptop, recovered to a new one, and finally caught up with some blogging, posting nice photos of the Vinod Prasanna tour, the 3rd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert, Yuki's mantra workshop in Maleny, Nritya Bharati School of Dance concert 2010 and a concert for QUT Indian Independence Day featuring one of my students.

Sat 7 Aug Indooroopilly: Nritya Bharati School of Kathak Dance Annual Concert

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I'm just catching up on a lot of work after my visits to Victoria and concert tour with Vinod a few weeks back, and still haven't done any blogging on those events as I'm waiting on photos. Anyway, the tour with Vinod, my tabla school concert, and Yuki's mantra workshop last weekend were all lovely, to be sure.

I don't have any shows for a while, but I especially wanted to announce this Saturday's Nritya Bharati School of Kathak Dance Annual Concert in Indooroopilly.

16-18 July Vinod Prasanna (bansuri) concerts + 25 July Tabla concert

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I've had a busy couple of weeks with Tenzin and Tibet2Timbuk2, and have duly posted photos and a couple of nice vids of our concerts in Hervey Bay (and Refugee Day Festival), Sacred Music and Winter Solstice Festivals. The trip up to Hervey Bay was a great success and most excellent concert, which raised around $3000 for Tibet earthquake relief.

I'm off to Victoria for my sister's wedding this weekend, but I'll be back next week with brilliant Banarsi bansuri player Vinod Prasanna doing concerts in Currumbin, Ocean Shores and Grange (north Brisbane) from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th July.

The 3rd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert is coming on Sunday July 25 in Mt Gravatt. My top students will be presenting tabla solos and I get my chance to play a full length solo as well. This year I'll play some unusual taal. Please come along, you'll be surprised. It's always an evening full of love and joy.
I'm attaching fliers for both Vinod's bansuri concerts and my tabla school concert - please pass them on to your friends, thanks.

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I've just posted some photos and even a video of our Tibet2Timbuk2 acoustic concert in Ocean Shores last Friday. It was a lovely evening.

Tenzin and I have a busy day this Saturday, first playing 5-6pm at the Caboolture Sacred Music Festival with Feridun Avar, then zipping down to Northey St City Farm to play at 8pm for the Solstice celebrations.

I want to give a special mention to Tahir Qawwal & Bobby Singh in concert this Friday in Goonengerry. It'll be wonderful.

Hi folks,

Tibet2Timbuk2 don't have many shows lined up except for next Friday June 11 at the Temple of Melodious Sound (home concert) in Ocean Shores - a special acoustic show and actually our first show in NNSW! We'll be joined by bansuri player Armando and hopefully a few more special guests.

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Turkish singer Feridun Avar has pulled together a last-minute World Music Afternoon at The Shire in West End from 4pm Saturday, featuring Yuki (mantras), Shen (tabla), Feridun, Tenzin, Asim Gorashi and more.

Tibet2Timbuk2 @ Crystal Waters was a legendary night, with opening mantras by Yuki accompanied by soundscapes by Peter and Marcello, then some songs by Peter with Shen on tabla, and finally a massive 100 minute set from T2T2 with all the songs from our CD plus a few new ones. Thanks very much to Scott and Rosie from Crystal Waters for pulling it together!

Sun 2 May Crystal Waters: Tibet2Timbuk2

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I've had a wonderful round of concerts with sarangi master Sangeet Mishra this weekend, taking in Caloundra, Brisbane and Ocean Shores. Photos and full round-up are on my blog. You have one last chance to catch Sangeet and I, along with meditative Sanskrit mantras by Yuki Taniguchi and hopefully some Qawwali influenced Pakistani geets by Tahir Qawwali, at our final concert 730pm Wednesday night at the Sai Baba Temple, 1614 Sandgate Rd, Virginia.

Now that Tenzin's back from touring with the Tibetan Monks, Tibet2Timbuk2 are getting busy with some concerts starting with Crystal Waters on May 2, with special guests Yuki (mantras) and Peter Hunt from Kooii.

Hi folks,

But first, this Sunday I'm going to see upcoming Brisbane tabla player Ravikesh Singh's workshop and concert at BEMAC. Ravi is just back from his first trip to India and I'm looking forward to seeing how he's progressed.

Sat 6 Mar West End: Eric Mandala

Hi folks,

Shen's News: It was a pleasure accompanying Saniya Patankar in two concerts this weekend, at the Brisbane Hindu Temple and then a morning home concert. I then went over to Stradbroke Island for the big triple 40th birthday bash, amongst whose birthdays we celebrated Marcello's (Tibet2Timbuk2) and Elliott's (Spankinhide), with bands including Kooii, Spankinhide and Toothfaeries. What a blast!
This week I want to give a special mention to my friend Eric Mandala, who I met in Kyoto, Japan. He'll be playing at The Shire on Saturday night (and I guess I'll be sitting in?).

There are a lot of upcoming shows in my calendar this week, but watch out especially for brilliant North Indian violinist Kala Ramnath and tabla master Yogesh Samsi on March 14 - you can book tickets at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop at absolute bargain prices. I have to emphasise that this really is a top-class Indian classical event, not to be missed.
I have a special giveaway for the upcoming Djan Djan concert at Judith Wright Centre on March 19. A free double pass for the first person to email me with the correct answer to this question: "Who is Bobby Singh's tabla guru?"

Thu 11 Feb Byron: Jai Uttal with Shen

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Yes I'm back from 2 months in India! It was freezing cold almost the whole time I was there, but then I heard I missed some very hot days here - out of the frying pan and into the fridge... I've written a whole lot of blogs and posted a bunch of beautiful photos. All the blogs are listed individually below, or you can just visit my main blog page and skim through. And if you're on Facebook, all the photos are there too.
I actually came back a couple of weeks earlier than planned because I have a very special concert in Byron this Thursday with great kirtan singer, Jai Uttal, on his first visit to Australia. It's a great honour for me and I'm very much looking forward to it. At 4pm Saturday I'll also be playing with Tibet2Timbuk2 at QPAC in a free event featuring a whole bunch of great Brisbane Indian and Tibetan musicians.
