Hello,
I hope this message finds you well!
For those attending WOMEX in Manchester, I regret to inform you that, unfortunately, I won't be able to join you this year. It would have been a pleasure and a productive opportunity to catch up on your latest projects and hear about your current journey in both life and work. I’m sure our paths will cross again at another event soon, but please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you’d like to stay in touch.
That said, I’m excited to share some fresh updates on several projects I’m currently involved in:
November
OKTOPUS (CA): European promo tour of the Montreal-based klezmer band, featuring showcase dates across Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Austria, and Slovakia.
ERMANNO PANTA & BANDA ZEITUN (IT/SP): Showcase performance at Fira-B in Palma de Mallorca.
NAMRITHA NORI (IT/IN): Release of her solo album Traces & Roots, blending diverse musical traditions of the Mediteranean/Middle East.
December
LUCA BASSANESE & LA PICCOLA ORCHESTRA POPOLARE (IT): In concert at Savoy Theater, Helsinki (Fi) on December 5th.
January
TSUUMI SOUND SYSTEM (FI): Performance at Celtic Connections, celebrating their signature fusion of modern Nordic Folk.
For more details on these projects or if you’d like to discuss potential collaborations, feel free to reach out (*).
Looking forward to connecting soon!
Best regards,
Eric
