Hasu
Patel, a disciple of Sitar legend Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb of India, is
one of the few distinguished female Sitarists. She is dedicated to preserving
her divine art through performances and teaching to all. Performance presents
the fascinating, highly evolved and traditional music ofÊ Ancient India
in it's pristine purity... The performance is spiritual and powerful.
The listener is easily swept into the transcendental purity of each of
the Ragas movements. The musicÕs invocation of the Divine Spirit in Nature
is mesmerizing and introspective, beckoning us all to bathe in its mysterious
transcendence and to relish our moments in the now...

Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra |

The
Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra is a regular feature of the Ohio Show.
"Clad in an array of gourd hats, the artist musicians had those listening
tapping their toes and dancing in their seats", said The Marion Star (Marion,
OH). From Richmond, Virginia, the Orchestra members grow gourds, make
instruments, and create music. Besides the fact that their instruments
are all gourd, they're fine musicians and performers. According to the
Style Weekly (Richmond VA), "The Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra can
be mesmerizing and hilarious at the same time...and that's an achievment
that shouldn't be discounted. There's magic here...They follow folk traditions
from around the world and in some cases, rituals that echo through the
centuries." They've produced several recordings, and they have a really
cool web site at http://www.erols.com/gourd/index.html

Xavier
Quijas Yxayotl, with Guillermo Martinez, present music of ancient Mexico
performed on authentic instruments, including gourd percussion. Xavier
Yxayotl has produced 5 recordings, and is two time nominee for the Native
American Music Awards. The music is intense and deeply spiritual.
The
mission of America Indigena is the resurrection of cultural identity through
the preservation of ancient instruments, music and dance.
"As the ritual starts and we hear the ancestral sounds, the soul awakens,
we hear the drums, rattles, and the clay flutes. This music from where
our soul expresses itself enables us to feel the responsiblity to continue
with the tradition left by our ancestors" -Xavier Quijas Yxayotl .
