PREMASOUL: Ancient Rhythm, Modern Concept, Sensual Sound
October 15, 2011 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$12 – $15
Influenced by the mysticism of Indian music and the colorful soul of American music, PremaSoul (pronounced prae-ma, from the Sanskrit word for “universal love”), transcends boundaries with an intoxicating blend of rich, modern harmonies and old world rhythms, to create songs of rare beauty. Fronted by Indian-American vocalist/harpist Sheela Bringi and Black American songwriter/trumpeter Clinton Patterson, PremaSoul’s sound is a natural expression of artists who are coming authentically from many places all at once.
A rare songbird, Sheela Bringi originally came to Los Angeles from her home in Colorado, to follow her path in music. What she found along the way was Clinton Patterson – a gifted, young musician from Atlanta with a penchant for both the soulful and the modernistic. Drawn together initially by a shared curiosity of each other’s musical heritage, their curiosity has expanded into a long-term collaboration that touches on traditions across the globe.
Sheela Bringi: voice, harp, bansuri
Clinton Patterson: trumpet, rhodes
