Posted by Shen on 14 Aug 2011 | Tagged as: Blog
Tenzin and Shen from Tibet2Timbuk2 have just completed a massive 2 week, 14 show tour of Japan with regular T2T2 guest musician Taro Terahara. You can read the full story on Shen’s blog, and see loads of photos on his Facebook album. Here’s a brief sample:
Fri July 28: Gokokuji Temple, hosted by Tibet House Japan.
Sun July 31: Saitama, Oppe Gallery – In most concerts, Taro and Tenzin performed a beautiful flute duet along with Tibetan nomad song. (Check out “Tibet: Awakened Heart” to hear both kinds of music.)
Mon 8 August Osaka, Chakra
Wed 10 August Kobe, Chicken George – not a KFC copy as the name might indicate, but in fact one of the biggest most famous live houses in Kansai, since 1980. Wonderful sound system!
“Tso Marpo” @ Gokokuji

On Sat July 16 Tibet2Timbuk2 played a concert in The Basement, Gold Coast Arts Centre, with a very special guest – South Indian vocalist Menaka Visvanathan. She really added a wonderful flavour to our music with luscious high vocal solos and harmonies. If you’re on Facebook you might be able to see this video of us accompanying her in a bhajan.
