9/23 Shen's gig in Nagoya + Gifu Sangeet Mela videos!

Hi folks,

Shen's News:
I've had a great time in the last 2 weeks, starting with a little show at Ayuttaya Cafe with Nobi (sitar) and another at the World Flutes Festival (Kobe) with Taro Terahara (bansuri). But the absolute highlight was definitely the Gifu Sangeet Mela 2008 - the best ever!!! It's such a great event, bringing together musicians, dancers and Indian music lovers from all around the country. As well as a report and lots of photos, I've uploaded Gifu Sangeet Mela videos to Youtube (15 minutes). Highly recommended!

I'm playing in Nagoya's Space-ji tonight with Mari Komuro (santoor) and Koki Yoshida (sitar) - Nagoya friends please come!

I also especially want to announce the Lakshmi Party @ Greenhouse (Chichibu) from Oct 3 to 5, which will feature a huge cast of performers including Carlos Guerra (bansuri) and Yuji Nakagawa (sarangi).

シェンの ニュース: この2週間はとても楽しかった。最初にAyuttaya Cafe with Nobi (シタール)の演奏、その後World Flutes Festival (Kobe)、バンスリの寺原太郎と一緒にでした。でも一番すごいイベントはGifu Sangeet Mela 2008 - the best ever!!!でした。サンギートメーラのヴィデオもYoutubeにUPできました。是非見てください!

今夜名古屋のスペースジーでサントゥールの小室まりさんとシタールの吉田こうきさんとのコンサートです。名古屋の友達、是非聴きに来てください!!!

特別なアナウンスをしたいです。10月3日から5日まで、秩父で
Lakshmi Party @ Greenhouseの参加します。バンスリのCarlos Guerra、サーランギのナカガワユウジ、たくさんの奏者とDJ来るので、とても素晴らしいイベントになりそうです。

Sat 6 Sep Kyoto 「秋の夜のしらべ」 - Carlos Guerra(Bansuri), Shen Flindell(Tabla), Yuji Nakagawa(Sarangi)

Hi folks,

Shen's News:
I'm really enjoying being in Japan, especially being able to play good Indian classical music with different people almost every day. In the last 2 weeks I've played with Yasuhiro Minamizawa (sitar) in Ayabe and Mari Komuro (santoor) in Osaka - both fantastic musicians it was my honour to accompany.

This Saturday I'm really looking forward to my only Kyoto concert in the beautiful Ei-Un-In temple with Carlos Guerra (bansuri) and Yuji Nakagawa (sarangi). I'm then off to Osaka to play with sitar player Nobi on Sunday night.

シェンの ニュース: 日本にいるのがとても楽しいです。とくに毎日いろいろのミュージシャンといいインド古典音楽を弾く機会があってとても嬉しいです。この2週間
綾部でシタールの南沢さん 大阪でサンツアーの小室さん の伴奏するチャンスをもらいました。とても感動しました。

今週の土曜日に京都の綺麗な永運院のお寺で、バンスリーのCarlos Guerraとサランギの中川ゆうじとのコンサートがとても楽しみにしています。そして日曜日に大阪でシタールのNobiさんのライブも楽しそう。
