Noura Mint Seymali, Jay Gandhi, Ehren Hanson and Jeiche Ould Chighaly: Kane Mathis Remaster

  This was a meeting of musical royalty from Mauritania, vocalist Noura Mint Seymali, with her husband  Jeiche Ould Chighaly on fretless electric guitar collaborating for the first time with Brooklyn Raga Massive's Jay Gandhi (bansuri flute) and Ehren Hanson (tabla). It was a spontaneous and beautiful meeting of two musical worlds and very much inspired our whole Africa/India Series.   The multi-talented Kane Mathis,  most known for his dazzling kora and oud  (hear him on podcasts #15, #111, #135 and #147) remastered this most popular of our episodes Kane's new group with tabla maestra Roshni Samlal Orakel, will perform live for our Africa/India Series this Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at 8pm and ShapeShifter Lab. Orakel is an electro-acoustic project of Kora/oud player, Kane Mathis and tabla player, Roshni Samlal, who began their collaboration at the Brooklyn Raga Massive. Using electronic compositional elements of sound design, field recordings, and drones, they create a new context for traditional elements of Indian classical percussion and Kora repertoire.
