Music, held at Hawthorn Arts Centre. I accompanied in two performances, first by Hindustani saxophonist Nic Buff, immediately followed by former Brisbane resident and old friend Saikat Bhattacharya (sitar). It was an honour to be the only interstate artist to be invited, and a joy to be part of such a thriving and enthusiastic community of Indian classical music lovers. I hope to be able to participate in future festivals.</p><p><b>SAT 12TH MARCH 2PM: Deepika Shome Memorial Recital</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDrOS1Q2F0L3e5i5spl4hG-fAdAkJ5iDvZ87EsSLtmBm6sud7g57KhzsAwCsIPmUVzVgUbdgp1VW23YaM8JuUURVXSlTHBOqmzatkqbFV-x8A_C0CFMKaETajS3DMKGPAzAKkQM0jAXnSq7onP6rjssHkHI_SXQDzMZgGQ48znDshdXFR8wKo/s3686/IMG_1381%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

There would have been four, but a Tibet2Timbuk2 booking in August got postponed due to a Covid outbreak and the new date didn't suit us.<br /><br /><b>Sat 25 Sep Street Serenades: Tibet2Timbuk2<br /></b>&nbsp;This was one of the most innovative performances I've been involved in. We turned up in the morning to a warehouse district near the airport, where we sound checked on a mobile stage on the back of a truck. Some things were nailed down and instruments were packed away, and we got into a van to drive around town and play half hour sets in three different locations: outside a cafe in Anstead, at the entrance to a park on Mt Coot-tha, and finally in a park in Hendra. It was a beautiful day and each location had a lovely audience gathered for our performance.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisq8qFo6SFL4IjiZ7RnO8GhBevw5rOfxzjwZiAEd9u_gHY8aRkvJGzI9VTjTTiJebAImmRpfwqD9na96l7SCTb4gntW68H5CgA9T-Gn_l63KHp1unZ1DAGM3kFIYfottnFUnw_SUGMNN88GuOl-UpLnc9lHFYPdBfagan_I2AWm4dTq3n_b2U/s4032/IMG_3467.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisq8qFo6SFL4IjiZ7RnO8GhBevw5rOfxzjwZiAEd9u_gHY8aRkvJGzI9VTjTTiJebAImmRpfwqD9na96l7SCTb4gntW68H5CgA9T-Gn_l63KHp1unZ1DAGM3kFIYfottnFUnw_SUGMNN88GuOl-UpLnc9lHFYPdBfagan_I2AWm4dTq3n_b2U/s320/IMG_3467.HEIC" width="320" /></a><br /><i>Tibet2Timbuk2 performing on the back of truck in a park in Hendra.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Sat 2 Oct Acacia Ridge: SRJ Rhythm Academy School Concert</b><br />&nbsp;Having joined Arthavan Selvanathan's mridangam school concert as accompanists <a href="https://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2022/09/2020-covid-era-events-and-activities.html">in 2020</a>, we've made a tradition and had a tabla-mridangam collaboration each year since. In 2021, my senior student Jesinthan Ketheeswaran and I joined a performance with Arthavan and his senior mridangam student Balaram Ramagiri for a tabla lehera style performance, with harmonium accompaniment by Nikhil Deo. (This week in 2022 we will follow that up with a similar performance, but this time I will play harmonium for 2 tabla students and 2 mridangam students.)<p></p><p><b>Sat 11 Dec "Aksh" - The Still Point of the Turning World, by Infinity Kathak<br />&nbsp;</b>By December, Covid vaccination levels in Queensland were approaching 90% and we were ready to have some big events again. My first big concert over 18 months was a Kathak extravaganza organised by Dr Helena Joshi and her students in Infinity Kathak. I accompanied all the students on tabla, as well as accompanying Helena's performance in Dhamar on pakhawaj.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4andBNC-x6JTz36H16HH_yMp1Dpi6pDesud-D3vf6hGx32SEBjWwaPPKOjVvIlHmLSYn-Mpef_awXOUvDG30E323IAPLA5Q3nMfpPIazS4NMWl9Y2-pUDZ9g6yvqIDed9YANx8Dtyc5L4ofGM8i6l5vNWWJwPKbJnF7Q3r5OFT8kZaK_SME/s2048/271802050_2823259484632127_1693649694228296019_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4andBNC-x6JTz36H16HH_yMp1Dpi6pDesud-D3vf6hGx32SEBjWwaPPKOjVvIlHmLSYn-Mpef_awXOUvDG30E323IAPLA5Q3nMfpPIazS4NMWl9Y2-pUDZ9g6yvqIDed9YANx8Dtyc5L4ofGM8i6l5vNWWJwPKbJnF7Q3r5OFT8kZaK_SME/s320/271802050_2823259484632127_1693649694228296019_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><i>Accompanying Dr Helena Joshi on pakhawaj</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJrkNROQXmFLjXECDm8yEZLGV2Tm_WUd70MRCOz-agCymusrtG-tu-yRmUjk9KeFSjRLgrdffp6miomhe2j1ScGHJX7FMYPtvJFqSXmB1tj57lqZi4v6Gjwvk_bGl0ZT72--z3W6iQduVje4XIHPdfPO1ubZ1Vlm2ZTNGj9X23BeruiwneVM/s2048/271724019_2823311857960223_4983734009111519579_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJrkNROQXmFLjXECDm8yEZLGV2Tm_WUd70MRCOz-agCymusrtG-tu-yRmUjk9KeFSjRLgrdffp6miomhe2j1ScGHJX7FMYPtvJFqSXmB1tj57lqZi4v6Gjwvk_bGl0ZT72--z3W6iQduVje4XIHPdfPO1ubZ1Vlm2ZTNGj9X23BeruiwneVM/s320/271724019_2823311857960223_4983734009111519579_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i>Advanced students Kathak dance group</i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6Al3xTKY57QZlZ5Om8eBiX7nqGvKEAfA8IEQVhsKec6VpY40db2xedV2P8j9O62M0HfJ8X-UX-gzkzKS2M6FR9YM71ZbrsZmiwThMaVBRKcp0bF4XuWlGWn49GWblZ-X7hoBDkKedLnbPtxlUcGWdchbwtPmiSeCAur0emzFmqwAPboSy4o/s1688/267905095_10228038948025293_3261747192645595916_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1688" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6Al3xTKY57QZlZ5Om8eBiX7nqGvKEAfA8IEQVhsKec6VpY40db2xedV2P8j9O62M0HfJ8X-UX-gzkzKS2M6FR9YM71ZbrsZmiwThMaVBRKcp0bF4XuWlGWn49GWblZ-X7hoBDkKedLnbPtxlUcGWdchbwtPmiSeCAur0emzFmqwAPboSy4o/s320/267905095_10228038948025293_3261747192645595916_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><i>Some of the musicians: Shen Flindell (tabla), Helena Joshi (padhant), Ananya Murali (vocal), Nikhil Deo (harmonium)</i></div><p></p></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shenflindell.blogspot.com/feeds/2653427684519728569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18015479&postID=2653427684519728569' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18015479/posts/default/2653427684519728569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18015479/posts/default/2653427684519728569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2022/09/various-2021-events-part-2.html' title='Various 2021 Events Part 2'/><author><name>Shen Flindell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07613010488879229885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisq8qFo6SFL4IjiZ7RnO8GhBevw5rOfxzjwZiAEd9u_gHY8aRkvJGzI9VTjTTiJebAImmRpfwqD9na96l7SCTb4gntW68H5CgA9T-Gn_l63KHp1unZ1DAGM3kFIYfottnFUnw_SUGMNN88GuOl-UpLnc9lHFYPdBfagan_I2AWm4dTq3n_b2U/s72-c/IMG_3467.HEIC" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18015479.post-510327036363241736</id><published>2022-09-21T11:47:00.008+10:00</published><updated>2022-09-21T11:47:48.854+10:00</updated><title type='text'>14th Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert</title><content type='html'><div>A collection of photos from the&nbsp;14th Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert, held 3pm-6pm Saturday 24th July 2021 at Queensland Multicultural Centre.

I remember driving there and feeling a bit nervous as we approached the last exit before the NSW border, because if I missed the exit, coming back across the border into Queensland would be quite a hassle.

Pts Sugato Nag and Abhijit Banerjee</title><content type='html'><p>Remember March 2020? It was a time of great change and uncertainty, as COVID-19 started spreading exponentially around Australia. At the start of the month we had heard of it on the news. By the end of the month we were in lockdown.</p><p>So, what a time for me to be organising what was intended to be the biggest Indian classical concert of the year for Brisbane: "Master Musicians of Kolkata" featuring Pt Sugato Nag (sitar) and Pt Abhijit Banerjee (tabla), two great masters who were in Australia for the inaugural Melbourne Hindustani Classical Music Festival, held on the weekend of March 7. The organisers of that festival were incredibly lucky in their timing, as it was unaffected by the virus. (Many thanks to MHCMS for their hard work!)&nbsp; A week later in Brisbane, though, and audiences were too worried to buy tickets.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_HADau5agvrswleXvdeKISzPJnZSwU11y2O3aqUPsqFko3RXxOhf3s3vJTOt4v5VNI4pMlSEWK8FXYzKrpW1dqAsc2KUI5sI0WLl_0qLoIIQUlX0Mr0uGQYGqBJ5jOW0PgkzqA/s1754/Master+Musicians+of+Kolkata+flyer+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="1754" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_HADau5agvrswleXvdeKISzPJnZSwU11y2O3aqUPsqFko3RXxOhf3s3vJTOt4v5VNI4pMlSEWK8FXYzKrpW1dqAsc2KUI5sI0WLl_0qLoIIQUlX0Mr0uGQYGqBJ5jOW0PgkzqA/w410-h290/Master+Musicians+of+Kolkata+flyer+web.jpg" width="410" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>In the end, March 13 saw a decent crowd at Queensland Multicultural Centre, not as big as I'd hoped, but big enough to make it work.

My old friend Elliott Orr began playing African drums around the same time that I started tabla. When he moved to Brisbane in 1995, and I'd just returned from my first trip to India, we moved in together and I joined his percussion group Bubada Dubada. Since those heady days, Elliott has gone on to be the top African drumming guy around Brisbane (even having moved to Byron recently). We used to have a monthly gig called The Big Bang, but nowadays it's The Little Big Bang, held in smaller halls. There are always performances by Zormiwasa (Elliott's weekly workshop participants), and Spankinhide (the descendant of Bubada Dubada, in which I am casual shaker player).</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRJAfQV3YkNETc2_5UzEiqFHr7KdurPvntGUFHHqiQiFpgW2R-MnLIXDL5_vAIXxgv4doqSjbZSYSAQKP6fQwZR5-kzmBxh0fGbtcfnLyt8t98HuYinOZg7IHTKsSoQL-V2nLgOg/s960/89501972_10159659455959768_2508989250007990272_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRJAfQV3YkNETc2_5UzEiqFHr7KdurPvntGUFHHqiQiFpgW2R-MnLIXDL5_vAIXxgv4doqSjbZSYSAQKP6fQwZR5-kzmBxh0fGbtcfnLyt8t98HuYinOZg7IHTKsSoQL-V2nLgOg/w410-h307/89501972_10159659455959768_2508989250007990272_n.jpg" width="410" /></a></p><p>For the 7th March 2020 edition, Elliott invited me to come and play tabla solo! It was really nice to play a relaxed teentaal tabla solo (with the great Lehra Studio app by Aman Kalyan), for a percussion audience not necessarily used to full length tabla solo. They were a really great, attentive audience, and it made me feel I would like to do more of this!

Anyway, I'd really been missing my friends over there, the yummy food and especially the onsens (hot spring baths), so I thought I'll ask my old friends if I can come and visit and play some music together.

I had been planning to attend a performance by great Kathak dancer Pt Birju Maharaj, and take lessons from his tabla accompanist, my senior guru-bhai Pt Govinda Chakraborty, but their trip was cancelled due to illness. I had non-refundable flight tickets so I thought, "why not go and see what happens?" It was nice to stay with my cousin and catch up with a few friends, while at the same time meeting and practising with various Indian classical music lovers and performers there.&nbsp;</p><p>On arrival I visited my first tabla guru, Sri Debu Bhattacharya, then went for practice with my old friend, sitarist Saikat Bhattacharya who had recently moved to Melbourne. After that I headed to a little gathering of amateur music lovers who practise together weekly, before wrapping up the evening at my cousin Ed's.</p><p>Saturday was more relaxed, but on the Sunday I headed to the other side of town where I had been suddenly and unexpectedly invited to join a home concert, accompanying Saikat! The main artist was an sarangi maestro from Delhi, Pt Bharat Bhushan Goswami, accompanied on tabla by a really old friend, Abhinav Garg, who I actually share-housed with in Kyoto in 2001! I took the chance to visit Bhushan-ji early for my own little practice, which was really such a blessing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMrwg-b5i-LjmZMGCvqsvwMwjAUAuhfSCyjtRlMA61SxhUK-q1RCyuWr4lBsqPR4GdI4ojy9oEznFyGg4TQL566hUKaFgdX28mjJ4IJo6_vmvNrh5FVnT_QjduszbwlCKpW2vIQ/s960/69649013_10221201856535529_5218082649834258432_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMrwg-b5i-LjmZMGCvqsvwMwjAUAuhfSCyjtRlMA61SxhUK-q1RCyuWr4lBsqPR4GdI4ojy9oEznFyGg4TQL566hUKaFgdX28mjJ4IJo6_vmvNrh5FVnT_QjduszbwlCKpW2vIQ/w410-h307/69649013_10221201856535529_5218082649834258432_n.jpg" width="410" /></a><br /><i>Accompanying Saikat Bhattacharya at a home concert in Pt Cook.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCHtlXP_4Nv7aR2SPENj5jQ5QJo2JmB8OQPU_Pf5tNdsm7Dn4IA2zcKObJvdxOSqBs4J_jMXLALwNCLxf1nd4TXof5PMjf8l3eq9H3zQ_dcNUQnSoNihh4uK9s1EVhS3NuaVTvg/s1600/EMAL5556.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCHtlXP_4Nv7aR2SPENj5jQ5QJo2JmB8OQPU_Pf5tNdsm7Dn4IA2zcKObJvdxOSqBs4J_jMXLALwNCLxf1nd4TXof5PMjf8l3eq9H3zQ_dcNUQnSoNihh4uK9s1EVhS3NuaVTvg/w410-h307/EMAL5556.JPG" width="410" /></a><br /><i>L to R: Abhinav Garg, Pt Bharat Bhushan Goswami, Saikat Bhattacharya, Shen</i></div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shenflindell.blogspot.com/feeds/1194604712613511191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18015479&postID=1194604712613511191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18015479/posts/default/1194604712613511191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18015479/posts/default/1194604712613511191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-quick-trip-to-melbourne-in-sep-2019.html' title='A quick trip to Melbourne in Sep 2019'/><author><name>Shen Flindell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07613010488879229885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMrwg-b5i-LjmZMGCvqsvwMwjAUAuhfSCyjtRlMA61SxhUK-q1RCyuWr4lBsqPR4GdI4ojy9oEznFyGg4TQL566hUKaFgdX28mjJ4IJo6_vmvNrh5FVnT_QjduszbwlCKpW2vIQ/s72-w410-h307-c/69649013_10221201856535529_5218082649834258432_n.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18015479.post-1195243259662335933</id><published>2020-08-19T14:18:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2020-08-19T14:18:34.114+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Aug 2019: Josh Feinberg (USA), Tibet2Timbuk2 (Tibet), Kenshin Okada (Japan)</title><content type='html'><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

June 14-22, 2019, I got the chance to go on tour with my old buddies Tenzin Choegyal and Marcello Milani, and new buddies Kween G and Yasmin Ibrahim from Sydney, performing a show called "Homelands Tour". Kween G is a Ugandan rapper, and Yasmin Ibrahim a Sudanese singer. We met on June 14 and had a couple of rehearsals before our first show. We then hit the road performing in Armidale, Coffs Harbour, western Sydney and finally at the New Beginnings Winter Festival in Sydney.<br />
<br />
It was so much fun working with talented and diverse artists to put together a cohesive show. We included the Sydney artists in a couple of our established Tibet2Timbuk2 songs, developed accompaniment for Sudanese and rap songs of Yasmin and Kween, and pulled together a collaborative piece built on a dialog between Kween G's beatboxing and my tabla bols.<br />
<br />
Thanks to BEMAC and SSI for arranging this tour!<br />

As always it was fantastic having Sangeet-bhai there for rock-solid and beautifully melodious naghma in Kathak accompaniment.</div>

Now she has released an album of her own original songs, into which she poured so much heart and soul and her loving attention to detail. The launch concert was an amazing production with everything planned for the various musicians playing in various songs. Thanks to Menaka for having me on her CD.<br />

<i><br /></i>Sangeet Mela 2019 was held on Saturday 30th March at Queensland Multicultural Centre. Many thanks to all those who were part of a beautiful day of Indian classical music and dance: the artists, volunteers, sponsors, and thanks most of all the audience. It was a fine selection of performances. Thanks also to Brian Sullivan for these photos.

Festival director Shen Flindell said “Events such as Sangeet Mela are invaluable in cultivating Indian classical music, both as the ideal vehicle for artists to perform for a quality audience at a quality venue, and as an attractive package to attract new audiences to this wonderful culture. Unfortunately I am unable to continue to drive this event and will be withdrawing from organising large events to focus on my own practice and students.

Woodford 2018 was my busiest ever, with an extensive programme of Indian classical artists (with one tabla player), as well as Tibet2Timbuk2 launching our new EP, and an Indo-jazz fusion trio. I accompanied Soumya Chakraverty (sarod), Saikat Bhattacharya (sitar), Vinod Prasanna (bansuri), and Sukhdev Mishra (violin). Sukhdev Mishra is an amazing Hindustani classical violin player from Varanasi and happens to be the uncle of sarangi maestro <a href="https://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2019/05/on-tour-with-sangeet-mishra-2018-aug-sep.html">Sangeet Mishra</a>. Sukhdev was invited by jazz-flamenco guitarist Bart Stenhouse, and our Indo-jazz trio also performed at the festival. There were also a few jugalbandis between Sukhdev and Vinod, which were really very popular - in particular I heard lots of positive feedback on our first trio performance for weeks afterwards.<br /><br />My partner Yuki Taniguchi also made her dance debut at the festival, with workshops and performances in both Chhau dance (a martial folk dance from Orissa), and Butoh dance (a Japanese modern dance-drama style). Yuki actually made her singing debut at Woodford <a href="https://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2017/06/supriyo-dutta-and-sangeet-mishra-at.html">back in 2016</a> when giving vocal support to Indian classical vocalist Supriyo Dutta. She really is a very talented woman.<br /><br />In all I had 16 performances and supported Yuki in her 4 events. In the 25 hours around New Year's Eve I had 8 performances plus Yuki's Butoh performance. New Year's Eve 2018/19 will go down in my memory as "The Night of the Five Jhalas". Sukhdev performed on the hilltop for the last sunset of the year, immediately followed by Vinod's solo, and then a jugalbandi, with all three items concluding with jhala. After a more relaxing set with Tibet2Timbuk2 at Pineapple Lounge, I accompanied Saikat just before midnight, then again Sukhdev for the first raga of 2019. Fun times.<br /><br />Following Woodford I had the chance to join Sukhdev Mishra and Bart Stenhouse again for 4 shows combining Indian classical violin with flamenco and jazz guitar. The bulk of each show was based around very nice compositions by Bart drawing inspiration from flamenco and Indian classical music. As always, the shows got better and better as we got settled in to Bart's compositions. I look forward to more chances in the future.<br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;">

We had a nice tour around central NSW mainly thanks to Krissa Wilkinson of the Wauchope Community Arts Council. Unfortunately for the band, Rebecca is committed to university studies for some time, so these were our last concerts for the foreseeable future.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(In 2016 we hosted <a href="https://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2016/07/pt-kushal-das-in-brisbane.html">Pt Kushal Das</a> and in 2017 <a href="https://shenflindell.blogspot.com/2018/02/sitar-maestro-pt-sugato-nag.html">Pt Sugato Nag</a>.) Anupama Bhagwat is a very fine sitarist in the same lineage as Pt Buddhaditya Mukherjee. She gave a sublime performance only spoiled at the end by explosive sounds coming from the QMC electrical system. Video of the concert on the way...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Soumya visited Australia for a month and a half in late 2018, kicking off in Brisbane before heading to Sydney and Melbourne and returning for Woodford Festival. We started our tour with another two home concerts by the Calcutta Boys School alumni, firstly hosted by Dr Bhavana Jha in Sunshine Coast, secondly at my home in Tarragindi.<br />

The first part of the tour was organised by Byron-based Indian slide guitarist Shivam Rath, and then after a couple of little concerts around Brisbane, along with a much bigger Kathak dance event, we hit the airways with Tenzin Choegyal to do some concerts around country Victoria and Hobart.<br />

Every year the Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School holds its annual concert on the Saturday nearest Guru Purnima. Last year's 11th edition was held on July 28th at Queensland Multicultural Centre. It is always a heart warming evening, rejoicing in the beauty of traditional classical tabla compositions played in harmonious groups of all levels, unmatched by other tabla schools around the country. The organisers are grateful for the unstinting support of Brisbane Indian Times and Australian Indian Radio. Thanks to Isha Pallavi for photos - see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/AshuBabuMemorialTablaSchool/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=2103854059625246">our Facebook album</a> for lots more.<br />

Readers of this blog will know that one of my main musical collaborators outside the field of Indian classical music is the renowned Tibetan singer-songwriter <a href="http://www.tenzinchoegyal.com/">Tenzin Choegyal</a>. When we are joined by singer-guitarist Marcello Milani we call the band <a href="http://www.tibet2timbuk2.com/">Tibet2Timbuk2</a>, which along with a recent regular member Richard Grantham (viola) has been recording a new album which will be released very soon at the time of writing.<br />
<br />
While compiling my list of performances over the last couple of years, this block of 5 events with Tenzin stood out. The first two bookings came about as a result of the various festivities surrounding the Commonwealth Games, being held on the Gold Coast at the time. There were also a couple of very significant events:&nbsp;<a href="https://ethnosuperlounge.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8f042a9efad1a66a77ec2dae3&amp;id=a7b9fda795&amp;e=40e19b43b7">1000 Stories with Michael Leunig</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://ethnosuperlounge.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8f042a9efad1a66a77ec2dae3&amp;id=f8c9f77813&amp;e=40e19b43b7">Songs from the Bardo with Laurie Anderson</a>.<br />

The sold out auditorium had a wonderful atmosphere, with lots of laughs in between songs. At the end a painting was auctioned for $3000, which went to Tibetan Children's Village!<br />

During these visits he made friends with world famous performance artist Laurie Anderson, so when Laurie was planning to come to Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast for a week long residency, she contacted Tenzin to arrange a performance of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The stage was just beautiful and it was a very special experience to work with such an accomplished performance artist on this spoken word performance with abstract soundscapes and some very subtle improvisations. Thanks to Tenzin for including me.</div>

Way back in 2001, while I was teaching English in Japan, I had the chance to live in a splendid 125 year old traditional Japanese house in north Kyoto. On the other side of the paper wall from my bedroom came the sound of tabla practice - I was living next to one of the only other tabla players in Kyoto!<br />
<br />
That tabla player was <a href="https://tablaabhi.com/">Abhinav Garg</a>, who now lives in Melbourne, and contacted me about bringing his guru Pt Abhijit Banerjee. I was very happy to help if possible, and by good fortune the timing was just right for some discussions I was having with BEMAC (Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre) about hosting an event. The result was a BEMAC LIVE event at Queensland Multicultural Centre on March 17, 2018, which just happens to be the 101st anniversary of my own tabla guru-ji's birthday. While we were having a concert of Saikat Bhattacharya (sitar) with Abhijit-da's accompaniment, followed by his amazing tabla solo, my friends in Varanasi were putting on our guru-ji's memorial concert featuring Saikat's guru-bhai Shakir Khan and tabla solo by Pt Yogesh Samsi.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile back to Brisbane... Following wonderful accompaniment of Saikat's sitar, Abhijit-da gave 75 minutes tabla solo and kept the audience enthralled. We only ended because of time limitations of the venue.<br />

Apart from the various accompaniment roles I took (photos follow), I was asked to give a tabla solo from 430am and thanks to the freedom of time and the lovely accompaniment by violinist Yuki Kaneko (Japan), I went quite deeply into my tabla solo and will never forget it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was a wonderful varied programme of Indian classical music at Woodford 2017, featuring Namita Mehta (vocalist based in Singapore), Taro Terahara (bansuri player based in Japan), Saikat Bhattacharya (locally based sitarist), and my tabla student group Tabla Tarrango! As usual I also got to play a few times with Tibetan vocalist Tenzin Choegyal, always a lovely time.

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

Download the "valid Atom 1.0" banner.
Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)
Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

<a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//feeds.feedburner.com/TablaInHand"><img src="valid-atom.png" alt="[Valid Atom 1.0]" title="Validate my Atom 1.0 feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//feeds.feedburner.com/TablaInHand
