Hi All,
Have been really busy with practices & rehearsals, but found a few minutes to sneak an entry in regarding the benefit shows I'm playing this weekend. Won't receive any remuneration for these (this is perhaps ironically appropriate given the lousy economy?) gigs, but the causes they're for are ones I'm supportive of anyway, so it's nice to be able to contribute something musical.
The first gig is tonight, actually, at a venue called Encuentro5 in Boston. Mary & the band are playing a handful of songs (there are like 11 acts altogether) to help raise fund$ for a Boston-based group to travel to El Salvador next month to monitor elections.
The second gig is Sunday night at Woburn High School with Odaiko New England. Woburn is another one of the Massachusetts cities with a weird name that doesn't quite get pronounced phonetically - it sounds like Wu-burn. It's a telethon to raise money for a local food shelter. We're playing a 10+ minute song titled "Mahora" (a rough translation of the title is "beautiful place"). A somewhat curious title, since one might accurately refer to the song as a 'testosterone' taiko piece - very aggressive and noisy. It's macho taiko.
