Welcome to the Woodford Folk Festival 2011-12

Feature: The Rhythm Divine

ABC Radio National presenter Geoff Wood explores music and song from the world’s religious and sacred traditions-from Indian classical music to mythic Mongolian fiddle and Khoomi chant, extraordinary songs of the Turkish Ashik mystic troubadours to Persian Sufi ney, finishing with the harmonic chant of Tibetan monks.

Feature: Ritual Music For Healing

Bukhu with Nayika Group @ Paddington

 

This unusual Mehfil (an Indian cultured gathering with music and dance) features Bukhu, an oustanding Mongolian throat singer who plays the horse–hair fiddle, performing in collaboration with Nayika Group featuring Indu Balachandran (Karnatic vocalist) and Sivakumar Sethupathi (South Indian drummer). Evocative of the steppes of Mongolia, the throat singing enhances and complements Karnatic music, in an original and innovative concert.
