Join improvisation ensemble Sahul Sakti as our musical caravan journeys to Spain. It's our first gig of the year and we would love to see you as we do what the Spanish do - drink chilled beverages on a warm summer's night, enjoy the long daylight hours, and listen to live music.
In this performance, Sahul Sakti will invoke its Spanish soul and celebrate the deep personal and musical connections we have with the Spanish-speaking world. We'll recall the spirit of exploration that was in albums such as 'My Spanish Heart' (Chick Corea), 'Sketches of Spain' (Miles Davis), and 'Global Fusion' (Dr. L. Subramaniam), all of which are significant musical influences for us.
Flamenco folk duo Luke Kozsański (guitar) and Huich Goh (violin) will open the evening with a set of flamenco and folk - inspired originals and a sprinkling of classic compositions. Borne out of the joy of creating music together and a shared love for flamenco music and Spain, this project is also a quest to make the violin and guitar sing to one another.
This will be Luke and Huich's first full-fledged show, so we'd love to have your support!
