As you can detect, by now, I’m still new at this “community networking”... but, I think that I’m quickly getting a handle on it.
I may have been the last person on Earth to get into Facebook, as well but, so far, it’s been a rewarding experience, as I’ve re-connected with a lot of friends, mostly from Puerto Rico, with whom I had lost contact decades ago! It’s good to see that they’re still around and it’s good to catch up on their lives!
But, today’s post is to tell you some details about my upcoming tour of Russia with my new band, The Wild Shamans. I had actually called this group, “The Groove Shamans”, but then I was asked, by my Russian agents, “What exactly does ‘groove’ mean?” So, if this sophisticated, worldly person was asking me this, then perhaps it would be better to change the name of the band to something that was easier to understand, don’t you think?
My tour schedule is 95% locked in for the following performances:
October 1 – 3 / Moscow venues, most notably, Tchaikovsky Hall
Oct 5 - concert Novosibirsk / Academytown, House of Scientists.
Oct 6, Barnaul / Philharmonic Concert Hall
Oct 7 – Kemerovo / Philharmonic Concert Hall
Oct 8 - Novokuznetsk
Oct 9 - Tomsk
Oct 10 – Moscow / Showcase for Exxon-Mobil
Here is a photo of Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall promotional poster.
On another note, a couple of weeks ago, I participated on a new recording by Brazilian blues-man, Alamo Leal. It was a cool record session with some nice traditional tunes and some great musicians on the CD roster, most visibly, harmonica prodigy, Flávio Guimarães! I talked to Alamo earlier tonight, as he called me to let me know that his record will be released next month. He still hasn’t decided on a title for the CD yet, but as soon as I receive a copy, I’ll let you all know, posting a image of the cover here, as well.
Meanwhile, 50 of my Krav Maga Federation colleagues, including my teacher and mentor, Master Rhon Mizrachi, are spending the next 3 weeks in Israel, training under the guidance of the federation’s Grandmaster, Haim Zut!
