KIM SANDERS & FRIENDS LAST GIG OF THE YEAR
Kim Sanders & Friends will perform their last concert in Australia for the year when they play at St Luke’s Hall, Enmore on Sunday afternoon, October 7.
Kim has just returned from Indonesia where he performed as a soloist at the Solo International Ethnic Music Festival. “I had a ball in Solo. I know a lot of musicians over there now, and we usually manage to get some interesting collaborations happening as well as doing our own stuff. This time I had a great jam with Sundanese percussionist Gilang Ramadhan. And the opening parade was fantastic – literally millions in the streets – Solo came to a standstill. I rode in a cart drawn by two oxen. Very stylish. Elton and Mick only get the stretch limo – hah!”
The gig also marks the return of tabla-player Bobby Singh to the band. He has been touring in the US with percussion trio Circle of Rhythm.
“The gig will be a good warm-up for us for the recording of our new CD in October. It’s been delayed for more than two years, for various reasons, so we’re really busting to get into the studio. After that, I’m off to study and perform in Turkey for three months. It’s a great life if you don’t weaken!”
The gig will feature the band’s eclectic mix of Balkan Gypsy thrash tunes, serene Sufi meditations, Afro-flamenco grooves and strange uncategorizable originals.
Kim Sanders: mey, kaval, gaida, ney, tenor sax, aardvark
Sandy Evans: soprano and tenor saxes
Steve Elphick: double bass
Bobby Singh: tabla
