Hi all, this posting is not gonna be more like an announcement alone but also can be considered as appreciation to our local musician the great Samuel J Dass. Well, I’m not promoting about this guy because he is my fren Ruby’s cousin bro but i do admire his music a lot ( although i rarely listen to traditional music).
During my college days i heard about him that he is very good and very talented in sitar and so on. So i had my own thought that, hmm okies, he must be some kind of those real classical musician or what till one day i heard some music was going on TV and quickly came out from my bedroom to hear what is that ( who is the musician), gosh its Samuel J Dass… Swear, i thought it was some western +classical ( they call it fusion, i think) musicians or some Indian Origin musicians. Well, Mr Sam, if you are reading this, pardon me as i would call myself an “isai suuniyem” who knows nutz about music, so please dont bother about what this silly boy talking.
Then one day, we were talking about this local music scene is getting better and improving and yada yada yada and suddenly someone asked why is there’s no one doing some fusion music and make it big here. Well achu told me that, hey do you know ruby’s cousin is the sitar musician? I asked who sitar, what sitar, i don’t know men..He said dont tell me i dont know Samuel J Dass…Owh, i know, he is ruby’s cousin a? I asked then why ruby is not in the music industry, lolz.. Sorry dato ruby, didnt mean to put you down yea..lolz
Well, back to the story….. hmm before I move on, can we like check out his play with his group, PRANA!! Continue reading “An evening with Samuel J Dass”
