our 10 piece global funk band dhamba 8 is doing a reunion gig at martyrs this saturday night. it's a big deal and we've been practicing for the past 2 months for it. babatunji-an original member- came all the way from hong kong, another drummer from idaho, & our genius keyboard player from madison. we haven't seen each other in many years, let alone play together. it's been nice reconnecting with everyone.
our sound is big & meant for dancing. our inspirations are africa (think fela kuti), afro-cuban, jazz & funk (james brown). we have a full horn section & 2 drum kits with percussion. and several singers.
it's kind of strange that this life & my yoga life are starting to merge. i found myself playing drums in my yoga class yesterday for a woman i met during a baptism i played at who owns a yoga studio. we did pranayama after, some yoga, meditated, and ended chanting the gayatri mantra
what's going on here?
