AFRO INDIAN FUSION COLLECTIVE

Featuring:

Lansana Camara - Kora

Darshil Shah - Bansuri flute

Shen Flindell - Tabla

Splash Gourdon (aka Elliott Orr) - Calabash Gourd

Tsoof Baras - Percussion

Lansana Camara, or Sana, from Guinea, West Africa plays the kora (21 stringed African harp). He plays with a beautiful touch and sings with a soft enigmatic voice. Accompanied by Splash Gourdon on the calabash gourd, floating on water, delivering a strong acoustic bass note to support the melody of the kora. This African sound will be joined by Indian musician Darshil Shah on the bansuri flute. Darshil brings a delicate and inspiring melody to take the listener soaring into the sound skyscape. Shen Flindell, a phenomenal tabla player will find the spaces within the music and bring a layer of complexity to tug upon and tease the mind of the listener to a point of ecstacy. Tsoof Baras, will find just the right notes and timbres to help entwine each of these distinct sounds into a rich tapestry.

SPANKINHIDE

The very existence of Spankinhide is to fuel the fire of dance. Rich rhythms, driving doundoun melodies, crack and boom to fill the room! A new ancient medicine, dance your way to great health!

YUKI TANIGUCHI

The dance piece to be presented is Shiva Tandava, Dance of Shiva.
It is the cosmic dance performed by Shiva to destroy and create the universe.

Chhau is a tribal martial arts dance from the Eastern regions of India.
In contrast to the highly refined and lyrical nature of Indian classical dance, Chhau is a particularly strong and strenuous dance in which the sinuous and fluid body movements are animated by a raw and primal energy.
This little known style is gaining popularity in the world for its beauty, vigour and the marvel of its art.
