I am happy to announce that I have just started giving cajon classes at Juanita Franco’s Academia de Baile de Espanol in San Diego. Here is a quick vid to spark your interest–help spread the word!
Cajon classes this Fall!
Teaching this tukra today and enjoying its small pleasures! 😊🙏🏼
This is quite possibly the strangest thing you might hear all day…. 🤣I still enjoyed it though, I think that makes me strange. 🤷🏻♂️ 😂
@rakhitailor captured a warm moment last night with a long time student @ryanshah____ who is now in high school! He started in 3rd or 4th grade. The journey of teaching is a deeply gratifying path. One where even the smallest moments can illuminate the depth of what we are doing as both teachers and students. ❤️🙏🏼😊
An attempt to fit a beautiful traditional composition in an 8.5 beat taal. This was fun!
Digging this groove and rela today.
I was recently inspired by an amazing bedum tihai posted by the tabla maestro @rupaktabla_official where he used a calculation into rupak theka in a 3/4 time (dotted 16th notes). So here is a similar idea but using Dadra as the 3/4 timing. Thank you for the constant inspiration Rupak bhai! 🙏🏼
Sharing a little snippet of a video I edited this morning of the first song on my album, Openings. You can check out the full video on my YouTube channel. I will post another snippet of this soon! .
Some trippy ideas from a playful kaida today….
These are some not so common variations of a very common traditional rela over an uncommon nagma pattern…. 🤷🏻♂️🙌😊
