Sangha
Saturday, February 28, 2009
Clayoquot Sound Theatre
Tix $20 • Doors 7:30pm
Mixing Indian classical rhythms with Persian improvisation, setting Arabic melodic modulation in a Persian mode, and adapting African melodies to a Westernized improvisational structure, Sangha maintains focus on clarity and subtlety so that each element sings out individually as well as collaborates and converses with ease; in this way, these four masters in their own right beautifully demonstrate the alchemical fruition of simultaneously bowing to the past, the present and the future. With moments of extreme delicacy followed by passages of deeply passionate, determined conviction, their music sincerely reflects the meaning of their name: a group of people who come together with a common bond; in this case, it is one of phenomenal musicianship and a reputable, shared musical vision.
