Sitar & Tabla India, K.G. Westman( sitar), Arup Sen Gupta( tabla)

Description

K.G. Westman is one of Europe´s foremost sitar players in the field of North Indian classical and semi classical music. As a senior disciple of Pandit Rabindra Narayan Goswami he has performed in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Egypt, Europe, USA and Russia as well as for radio and T.V.

Due to training in both Indian and Western Music, he also makes an excellent teacher and conductor of workshops regardless of the background of the participants.

K.G. Westman is one of the founders and main organizers of the Stockholm Sangeet Festival, Scandinavia’s most prestigious event for Indian Classical Music and dance, which has run continuously for over 15 years.

The interest in Indian Music began when his father moved to Kerala in 1996. Already an accomplished guitar player and recording artist, he tried his hand at the Saraswati Veena, before making up his mind that the sitar was the instrument for him. Then in 2004 he started to learn the basics of sitar technique, raag and taal, first from Stian Grimstad, then also from Anil Singh of Dharamshala, before he was accepted as a student of Goswamiji in 2006.

In 2017 the classical album Sonashish was released on the Kolkata label Bihaan Music, in 2022 the Swedish-Indian-Egyptian collaboration KG Westman & Zaعfaran and in 2023 an album featuring the self composed raag Anandpriya.

ARUP SENGUPTA doesn't need any introduction to Hindustani music lovers in
Europe as he regularly performs with renowned Hindustani Musicians
throughout Europe, India and the US. Arup is considered to be one of the
most sought after Tabla accompanists in Europe. He studied Tabla with
Tabla exponent Pandit Subhen Chatterjee from Kolkata (India) as well as
with Subhenji's own Guru, the renowned and legendary Tabla Master Pandit
Swapan Chaudhuri, who is considered to be one of the world top most Tabla
players.

Musique tsigane de Roumanie 100% bruxelloise, Depuis les années 30 jusqu'aux débuts des années 90, la musique populaire roumaine a connu de grandes phases de succès à l'étranger. Dans les années 30, Bucarest était nommée le petit Paris, et les airs de tango ou de cabaret voyageaient d'est en ouest, que l'on soit Piaff ou Maria Tanase. Dans les années 70, la présence du flûtiste George Zamfir ou du compositeur Vladimir Cosma rendra populaire plusieurs thèmes roumains, dont celui du Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire". Ensuite, à la fin de l'ère Ceaucescu, c'est le belge Stephane Karo qui poussera le Taraf de Haidouks à la célébrité internationale depuis Bruxelles où ils se produisent discrètement, alors que les films de Gatliff ou de Kusturica font jaillir à l'écran l'âme tsigane des Balkans. Le Taraf Budișteanu nous fait revivre cette épopée extraordinaire de la musique populaire et tsigane de Bucarest. Avec le virtuose de l'accordéon Aurel Budisteanu, la magie du cimbalum de Costel Ursulet, et Zoli Kekenj à la contrebasse. https://youtu.be/AID3pbVtJpU?si=yvUTzjV7TbEJA4wd
********** Français ********** KOSMOKRATORS présente des chansons grecques de la tradition rebetiko en Français, Néerlandais et Grec. Les paroles sont des traductions plus ou moins littérales des originaux, qui rendent bien le caractère dur et marginal authentique. Le thème par excellence est le monde des ‘mangas’, les musiciens tenaces et orgueilleux fumeurs de haschich d’Athènes et du Pirée. Toujours des paroles bien enfumées, parfois adaptées aux temps modernes, parfois rustres, parfois tendres, mais l’humour est de rigueur. Frans De Clercq (voix et bouzouki) Karsten de Vilder (voix et guitare) Dimi Dumo (voix et percussion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHYHWR9c-GY www.kosmokrators.net ********** Nederlands ********** KOSMOKRATORS brengt Griekse rebetikaliederen met Nederlandse, Frans en Griekse teksten. De vertalingen blijven dicht bij het origineel, en behouden het authentieke harde en ondergrondse karakter. Het thema bij uitstek is de wereld van de manges, de taaie muzikanten, stoere binken en hasjrokers uit Athene en Piraeus. Steeds gaat het om doorgewinterde teksten, soms aangepast aan het hier en nu, soms hard, soms teder, maar altijd voorzien van een flinke dosis humor. Frans De Clercq (zang en bouzouki) Karsten de Vilder (zang en gitaar) Dimi Dumo (zang en percussie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHYHWR9c-GY www.kosmokrators.net
