Tibet2Timbuk2 with Sulagna Basu in Noosa
Posted by Shen on 05 Sep 2012 | Tagged as: Blog
This weekend Tibet2Timbuk2 had a double header on the Sunshine Coast, with an afternoon concert at one of our favourite venues, Crystal Waters Eco-Village, followed by an evening concert in Noosa Pengari Steiner School. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos from the afternoon concert, but here are some from the evening. Thanks to organiser Jalberto Maldonado of Timbeao Planet and to special guest artist Sulagna Basu.
Sulagna Basu opened the evening with a variety of classical, semi-classical and folk songs, accompanied on tabla by Shen.
We concluded the first half of the programme with a tabla duet between Shen and his senior student, Sulagna’s son Tito Basu, which got a very good audience response.

Tibet2Timbuk2 at Powerhouse with IJIMP

On the winter solstice (June 21), Tibet2Timbuk2 had a show at Brisbane Powerhouse, organised by BEMAC as part of their “Planet” series of concerts. This concert was titled “Focus on Fusion” and also featuring Indo-Japanese Improvised Music Project (IJIMP). This was our first show in Brisbane since before my trip to India in Japan starting in February, and we’re not sure when the next Brisbane show will be…? Maybe December or January when special guest Taro Terahara (bansuri) will be in town.
