two new tracks
two new tracks from recent rehearsals on our myspace playlist:
Bhangra Funk Jam, Extreme Fretless Version
Another take on the bhangra - inspired groove in development, this version uses the fretless and some interesting wah textures. All improvised in real time.
Compare to the fretted version...
Love
Simple and sweet, this has been in our repertoire for a long time in the sarod/tabla form (you can hear it on the 'Travel Bug' CD and there's a You Tube live clip of it as well), but it's starting to find a nice voice in the electric setting. Inspired by the feel of classic filmi ballads.

Sama Duo Rising: New Tracks at MySpace
Rehearsals have been going very well, with the electric material shaping up nicely. We did a couple of gigs last weekend, most notably at the Reptilian Lounge, which was a lot of fun. We also were the guest on the community access channel "WV" talk show. He hasnt posted the footage yet, I'll post an update when he does.
We've replaced all the music tracks on our MySpace page with new material from recent rehearsals. I'm not afraid to share works in progress and documenting the Duo as it evolves, so feel free to check out the current state of the group.
We're planning to record a new CD in the spring, and are in the process of stepping up the performance activity in the area over the next few months as part of honing the material for the recording project.
Stay tuned!
