* EUROASIA MODALMANIA in ASAKUSA *

Hi Bachido, hisashiburi…

hows everyone doing??

I would like to invite all the Bachido members living in Tokyo area for a concert in Asakusa…

My friend Tim and I will be performing on mainly Japanese instruments, koto, shakuhachi and shamisen, but also Indian tabla drums and Slovak flutes…

We will play a program full of modal tunes influenced by Indian ragas and Slovak and Japanese folk songs… So escape the xmas/new year madness and join the MODALMANIA!!!

hope to see some of you there…

Ohisashiburi, Matej!! Great to hear from you!

Man, that sounds wonderful! I rarely can refuse a free drink, but the distance is a bit tricky for me this time. I hope other Bachido members go! If so, take some pictures, please! :slight_smile:

I hope to see you in late June! (Details on ShamiCamp 2015 coming soon :slight_smile: )

Hi Kyle,

I have just checked the Bachido page after long time now. I see that you are on to many new projects lately, keeping yourself busy…thats great!! I read about the ShamiCamp, sounds awesome. I am not sure if I can be there for the whole lot, but will definitely come at least for some parts of it. Would not missed the opportunity to meet the creator of Bachido himself… Do you know how long you are gonna be in Japan and whether you will have some free time?? I might organize an extra concert for you and perhaps other Bachido members here in Yokohama, you were interested. cheers

Hi Matej,

Yeah, a lot has been going on here, and even more in the next two weeks! :slight_smile:

I’m thinking of going for 2~3 weeks. Unlike the past five trips full of pre-arranged schedules, this time I think I’ll make more free time to allow spontaneous shenanigans to happen. :slight_smile:

Absolutely!! There’s no way I’m gonna miss meeting the great Sid/Matej!! I think a concert would be really fun too! Kevin and Mike are gonna be at the ShamiCamp too, so there’s lots of possibilities. :slight_smile:

Let’s keep this in mind!

I’m interested in seeing video footage of this if there is any!

Hi Karl,
sorry to disappoint you but there wasn’t much recording done at the event, a few pictures but nothing worthy showing… despite the lack of audience, the concert went great tho, perhaps everybody was elsewhere getting ready for NewYear’s celebration or…

well ,here is a link of my friend Jack, of whom you have heard already am sure, to give you some other interesting video to watch instead…

Happy New Year to everybody!!

Aw too bad! Nice link! I actually met Jack in Hirosaki during the taikai!
