Our tour started in Taipei on October 5th at the Migration Music Festival! We played a one hour set at the Da’an Park Amphitheatre in front of an incredibly receptive audience. I was invited the next day to conduct a percussion workshop where some Taiwanese kids really took to the South Indian drum language, Konakol, and had a whole lot of fun clapping and singing TakaDimi TakaJonu! Zoltan and I stayed on a couple of days longer to collaborate with Yufeng, a gifted young Taiwanese Pipa player.
Returning to Europe, our tour continued with concerts in Frankfurt, Aachen, Schorndorf, Irsee (Germany), Innsbruck, Vienna, and Rudersdorf (Austria). There is an upcoming gig in Essen on the 2nd of November, after which all members of Madras Special will be busy with other projects until spring 2007. We thank all the people who supported us by coming to the concerts, buying our CDs, and thus inspiring us to keep making good music!!
