World Fusion Music: Prem Joshua transports the listener across the borders of East and West. This is the band’s review of a recent gig in Sofia: “One of the recent highlights was our concert in Sofia, Bulgaria, where we had a phenomenal performance to a packed hall at the huge ex-communist building, the “Palace of Cultures”. For our final tracks we invited some local Bulgarian musicans to share the stage with as, playing their traditional instruments, like the Bulgarian bagpipe (called Gaida), the Bulgarian wooden flute (called Kaval) and the traditional drum (called Tapan). Our concert came to a crescendo in this spontaneous session mixing instruments from India, the Balkan and the West – such magic and an absolutely unique space!”
