Tsunami Relief Concert, Remembering Shakti [27 Jan 2005|11:57am] Phenom will be doing a show on the 28th of January, 6:30 pm, at St Johns Amphi-theatre, along with Zebediah Plush, Galeej Gurus, and the Christ College and Mount Carmel College acoustic bands, to raise funds for Tsunami relief work. Tickets are priced at Rs. 100, and are available at Casa Piccola (Residency Road), Music World, Landmark, Crossword and Coffee Day Xpress outlets. Be there if you enjoy some good rock or acoustic music, or just if you want to help the cause. Thanks! Meanwhile, we released a few more of our songs - Resurgence and CAP 5101. Get them here! I watched Remember Shakti yesterday at Palace Grounds, and man, I was blown away, again! The last time I experienced something similar was here. Similar observations - these guys (and Carnatic music in general) have amazing rhythmic patterns and phrasing! All the instrumentalists were absolutely brilliant, and so was Shankar Mahadevan - he certainly added value to the performance. Listening to Indian classical melodies backed by John Mclaughlin's jazz chords was an out-of-this-world experience. I felt the lack of a bass guitarist or a keyboardist to fill up the sound, but that was only when Zakir Hussain was playing the snare and the bass drum, not when he played the tabla. 9 comments|post comment
