Charanams

Queens sextet Charanams adroitly blends South India's carnatic classical music and instrumentation with jazz improv and other influences. Led by gifted mother-and-daughter team Nivedita and Sam ShivRaj, Charanams won WNYC's Battle of the Boroughs last year. We won't make the band do battle at WFMU, but Charanams' Studio B engagement does kicks off an ambitious spring campaign, which continues with assaults on Drom in the East Village on May 4 and LIC Bar in Long Island City on May 7.
Charanams will launch a kickstarter campaign in a few days to fund the costs of making a debut cd: http://kickstarter.com/profile/charanams

pedro silveira:
it reminded me of the last track of hera's "where my complete beloved is" album, but that one is a ukrainian folk song. anyway, this playlist is fitting for the actually quite chilly night here in south brazil. thanks! | |

So who went out for Record Store Day? I just got back. It took looking in a few stores but I did find The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa and The Rough Guide to African Roots Revival. | |

I missed it - sadly I don't make it too far out of Hoboken on show days! Plus I just did a bit of record shopping in PDX, trying to keep things under control! |

I've never bought the Rough Guide vinyl before. Nice that you get a download code with lots of extras. | |

Kinda the new trend in album-releases is vinyl-only plus mp3 releases - and no cd! Although I think the Rough Guides do also still come in cd form. |

Sat. 4/21/12 7:32pm
Karen in Sleepy Hollow:
Yes, I have a few cds but the bonus material with the download is a nice touch. The Stax box of 45s came with a download too but no extras. | |

Charanams guitarist Jason Goldstein is a good friend of mine. I loved hearing their live set, and I look forward to supporting their Kickstarter campaign. Thanks for airing their music and the entertaining and informative interview segments. | |
