SOUL CALL

When the GRAMMY nominations were announced earlier this month, a light shined on the untold story of a singer little-known in the music scene. This is the tale of a woman who scoured every corner of the planet in search of soulful music, while climbing the elite ranks of business circles. After years of intense study, she is taking an ancient song form normally sung on streets and in homes, and sharing them in service to others. Her name is Chandrika Krishnamurthy Tandon and her album, Om Namo Narayanaya: SOUL CALL (on Soul Chants Music), has been nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Contemporary World Music Album category, alongside musical greats like Béla Fleck, Bebel Gilberto, Angelique Kidjo, and Sergio Mendes. Soul Call is more than music. The eight songs were composed around a single eight-syllable chant that is over six thousand years old. Chandrika composed each song to follow a different Indian raga. She recruited global sarodCalcutta and New York. maestro Tejendra Narayan Majumdar to create arrangements using over 30 acoustic Indian classical, folk, and Western instruments including the vibraphone, acoustic guitar, and bass. The eight syllables of this chant-Om Na Mo Na Ra Ya Na Ya-are believed to form a protective armor around the body. “These syllables are literally vibrations from the ancient Vedic tradition handed down from generation to generation,” explains Chandrika. “Many traditions have incredible healing mantras whether in Africa, Brazil or Tibet . I can’t tell you in detail how they work; some things are beyond explanation. You have to experience it yourself.”
And that is my recommendation to you, try it out yourself. I will be spinning her album on the show soon, but feel free to get yourself ahead of me. Ears to the finish line!

Tree Branch Ledge

I want to thank Todd Clouser for being a guest on the proGram today as he will be in town on Friday 12/17 at The Frequency. He will bring some of his Love Electric mates to jazzrockjam those in the house. We spoke about the expectations of what the Madison crowd could expect, his time playing with and befriending Keb Mo as well as a special guest that will be on stage here Friday the 17th…The show went on with a flow like a squirrel jumping from tree branch ledge to tree branch ledge…..

Had some young friends in the studio today.

Youth Concert Program

Had the pleasure of bringing a group of students to the Overture Hall for the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s “Getting Motif-ated” with Classical Music’s Greatest Hits. It was a lovely performance with different members of the orchestra discussing and showing examples of the different kinds of instruments. The house was almost filled to its 2200 person capacity with three different shows for the school districts. We were honored to see 11 year old Miss Isabella Wu play the Symphony’s show grand piano during the Mendelssohn piece. Here is the list of hits:

Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in G Major, BWV 1048–I. Allegro by J.S. Bach
Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV 550–I. Molto allegro by W.A. Mozart
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67–I. Allegro con brio by Beethoven

An Evening with Jake

I decided to get into the music scene via the radio medium to help spread the word about the artist, not only the art. From the first moment I heard Jake Shimabukuro create his pieces, I was moved immediately to find out more. I reached out to Jake’s people at Hitchhike Records and was instantly embraced as a friend with a since “Aloha”. What I ended up learning was that Jake was not only a virtuoso on the ukulele, but by my accounts he was a virtuoso as a person also. It is easy to see that he is a real person, like you or I, and in a concert setting that comes to the forefront so naturally. His charm and warming wit spread over the crowd, as the ukulele seems to become more than an instrument almost as an added portion of his body extending outward from his heart and soul.
Those in attendance at the majestic Stoughton Opera House were fortunate to hear a few songs off of his new album, “Peace, Love and Ukulele”, which will be released in early January of 2011. The show also featured a bountiful collection of songs ranging in styles from classical, jazz and rock and roll, as well as songs very personal to Jake himself that you could almost feel the emotions in the ukulele’s shine. On that night, there was poetry coming off those strings.

Gogol Bodello w/Forro

A dream line up for my ears. I have been a fan of Forro in the Dark for many years now, interviewing friend of the program, Mauro Refosco on a couple of occasions~most recently this past show on greenarrowradio. Forro opened up the evening with a blend of tradition and danceable party music that had bodies moving instantaneously and this Halloween audience was ready to party. The humble nature of this band settled in nicely with the folks in Madison at the Overture Center, who must have walked away from Forro in the Dark thinking of inviting them back into their community anytime. Next was Gogol Bordello, who was a perfect treat on a night of tricks. The energy dripped off onto the crowd, raucous rowdy organized chaos ensued with heavy rock and hearty rolls that there was no where to go but up up up. The messages rang loud and clear and to people who were listening. I’d have to say that the world of music is a better place for having Gogol Bordello around doing it as they do. Its mayhem that makes pure sense. If the chance arises, theses are acts not to be missed.
