Artist: Tanjer Alam
Song: three unknown songs*
Recorded at Flemingdon Park (Arts in the Park: Labyrinth Ontario – week 2), August 10, 2019.
Another trip on a delightful summer day over to Flemingdon Park for the second of Labyrinth Ontario's Arts in the Park events. There were Bengali folk tunes on tap this time round, and though billed under the name of tabla expert Tanjer Alam (a.k.a. Rajeeb), this was in fact performed by a trio that saw him joined by Zahid Hossain on harmonium and Junaed Anwar on dotara. There was a wonderful sense of interplay as they grooved out on several folk styles, pausing only to talk about their instruments and explain the origins of some of the pieces. [Do note once more that these (literal!) field recordings have a bit of an "in the rough" feeling, so consider the rumble of wind and other background sounds as part of the experience.]
* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!
