2013/06/04 This time, just one CD review. But what an album! Simon Thacker's Svara-Kanti : Rakshasa is one of those rare beasts - meaningful, successful fusion of Western classical music and Indian classical music (and more besides!). It's a real monster of an album, with all works being world premiere recordings as well. This is a no effort, no expense spared album, which should be in anyones collection! The wonderful sample track on the review page, Svaranjali, is now receiving airplay on some 200 stations, mainly in the US. This could be the first time we see a classical guitar track in the charts in several decades! Composers on Rakshasa are, in addition to the excellent Thacker himself, Nigel Osborne, Terry Riley and Shirish Korde. Although classically based, this album has plenty of 'world music' interest and should not be missing from any serious 'world music'collection. Singer-songwriter David Vaughan, with accordionist Romano Viazzani and clarinettist Daniel Broncano, will be at Oliver's Jazz Bar in Greenwich on Thursday 6th June at 8.30pm (entrance £5), and at The Bull's Head in Barnes on Sunday 9th June at 8.30pm (entrance £10). Their performances have been very well received so far. Vaughan's songwriting, arranging, and performance style is unique, drawing on both European and British influences in chanson and music theatre. Oliver's Jazz Bar is a cosy basement jazz bar with a modest stage and sound system but with a great atmosphere full of gallic charm. The Bull's Head, on the other hand, is an established jazz venue with a lovely Yamaha grand and full sound and lighting. Also, accordionist Romano Viazzani will be playing with Cabaret Verite and Bethany Jameson again on 13th June in Pewsey in Wiltshire. Cabaret Verite will also be back in July, on the 12th at The Green Note, Parkway, Camden Town, London NW1, on 13th July at Mary and Percy Shelley’s House in Bournemouth, and on 14th July at La Cave in Southwark for Bastille Night. They will be playing some of their latest arrangements and new songs at these last three gigs. Again next week, don't miss Argentinean tango sensation Martin Alvarado's only three gigs of his courrent UK tour, on 6th, 7th and 9th June. For details see Facebook. Please note that the 'Other World Music' page will be renamed as plain 'World Music' page as soon as circumstances permit. Also please be aware that there may be delays to forthcoming updates due to the current - generously donated - stop-gap laptop computer being very near breathing its last and hence a (tower) replacement having to be found urgently, which may occupy a good bit of time. Most regrettably I have to severely curtail gig and other live event reviews from now on due to severely constrained finances and in the absence of substantial donations to the site or sponsorship. I shall of course honour most events I have already committed to until August this year. However, beyond that, things are highly uncertain at the moment, and unless there is a positive change in circumstances, I shall not be able to attend more than one event per month at best. Expenses such as fares are simply too much to bear out of my own limited pocket. Hence, an appeal for donations will be re-launched shortly, as soon as mechanisms for anonymous donations via PayPal have been put in place. As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 86 is available now! Still on the topic of AWiL, while we all are no doubt grateful to SOAS Radio for providing a wonderful home to everybody's favourite world music programme and presenter, isn't it really time this outstanding show returned to mainstream FM radio? A return to BBC London 94.9 FM may well be a lost cause. But there are plenty of other FM stations covering the London area! Maybe it is time for the fans and followers of DJ Ritu's A World in London to mount a concerted campaign to achieve such a return to mainstream FM radio and lobby the various suitable stations? If you agree and perhaps would like to get involved and support such a campaign, then feedback would be positively welcome either here or preferably on Facebook, or on the DJ Ritu Facebook Fan Page.

2013/05/16 After some delays and including a couple more reviews than would originally have been scheduled, here's a bevy of reviews - four gig reviews, two illustrated by Rainlore's World Artist in Residence Alban Low, and two illustrated guest reviews by him, a solitary album review (I know, we're getting further behind again with albums at the moment but hope to catch up a good bit soon) and an article. One of the gig reviews and the article are of interest here. So here we go, in the usual alphabetical order. Starting with an exciting gig we have ArHai - Album Launch Live At Rich Mix, Shoreditch, London E1, Saturday 4th May 2013 (Illustrated Guest Review by Alban Low), launching their amazing Folktronica album Eastern Roads, reviewed last time. Mr. Low, although new to the 'genre,' gets into the spirit of it! Much to my regret, I was unable to attend myself. The article, The Reviewer & The Reviewed examines the roles of both. This had been held over from previous updates to fine-tune it. It's funny how there's just the odd exception that does not seem to grasp the fundamental 'rules of engagement!' Please be aware that there may be delays to forthcoming updates due to the current - generously donated - stop-gap laptop computer being very near breathing its last and hence a (tower) replacement or parts having to be found urgently, which may occupy a good bit of time. Most regrettably I have to severely curtail gig and other live event reviews from now on due to severely constrained finances and in the absence of substantial donations to the site or sponsorship. I shall of course honour most events I have already committed to until August this year. However, beyond that, things are highly uncertain at the moment, and unless there is a positive change in circumstances, I shall not be able to attend more than one event per month at best. Expenses such as fares are simply too much to bear out of my own limited pocket. Hence, an appeal for donations will be re-launched shortly, as soon as mechanisms for anonymous donations via PayPal have been put in place. It's been very hard to keep up with anything lately, and that includes gig news. So please see DJ Ritu's web site as below for that and more. As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 84 is available now! Still on the topic of AWiL, while we all are no doubt grateful to SOAS Radio for providing a wonderful home to everybody's favourite world music programme and presenter, isn't it really time this outstanding show returned to mainstream FM radio? A return to BBC London 94.9 FM may well be a lost cause. But there are plenty of other FM stations covering the London area!

2013/04/19 This time we have a review of the most funtabulous gig you could imagine, and of an album straight out of heaven. However, another item or two had to be still withheld due to last minute further editing being required and insufficient time being available. Alphabetically as usual, there's ArHai's Eastern Roads, an album whose music is so beautiful, it might hurt you! It's folktronica done right, to absolute perfection. This should have huge appeal to both folk and electronica aficionados alike, and to just anybody who enjoys great music. Look out for the launch gig at London's Rich Mix, in the next couple of days if memory serves - check Facebook, and don't miss! The gig reviewed is the State Of Undress Magical Gig At The Magic Garden, Battersea, London SW11, Friday 29th March 2013, sumptuously, gloriously illustrated by Rainlore's World Artist in Residence, Alban Low. The most fun, fantastic, fabulous gig for a long, long time! If you haven't seen State Of Undress live yet yourself, why not?! The most glorious rootsy folk-rock band that even outshines Fairport Convention at their early best, they ought to be headlining at all the major festivals! Yes, they really are that brilliant. Please note that the 'Other World Music' page will be renamed as plain 'World Music' page as soon as circumstances permit. Among other news, the long overdue Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will of course follow ASAP but maybe a while yet. However, the good news is that the winners will henceforth receive a commemorative plaque, and Rainlore's World is proud to announce that the Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will be sponsored by the prestigious Sampson Low Ltd., one of the UK's oldest publishing houses! Most regrettably I have to severely curtail gig and other live event reviews from now on due to severely constrained finances and in the absence of substantial donations to the site or sponsorship. I shall of course honour most events I have already committed to until August this year. However, beyond that, things are highly uncertain at the moment, and unless there is a positive change in circumstances, I shall not be able to attend more than one event per month at best. Expenses such as fares are simply too much to bear out of my own limited pocket. As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 80 should be available now! Still on the topic of AWiL, while we all are no doubt grateful to SOAS Radio for providing a wonderful home to everybody's favourite world music programme and presenter, isn't it really time this outstanding show returned to mainstream FM radio? A return to BBC London 94.9 FM may well be a lost cause. But there are plenty of other FM stations covering the London area!

Terryazoome can be caught at The Great Northern Railway Tavern, 67 High St., Hornsey, London N8 7QB on 1st May and 3rd July 2013. They are very excited and pleased to introduce you to the newest member of the band, jazz singer Brigitte Beraha. On 1st May they will also be joined by Michael Minas on bouzouki. Expect a most lively gig with some real bouzouki pyrotechnics!

2013/04/05 A gig and an album review this time. But what a gig! It's tango singer extraordinaire, Martín Alvarado - 'Asi Es Mi Tango' With Mikko Helenius Live At Lauderdale Hs., Highgate, London N6, Thursday 21st March 2013 which is sumptuously illustrated by Rainlore's World Artist in Residence, Alban Low. Special Guest was classical tango pianist and composer Juan María Solare. Alvarado, the voice that melts hearts, true to form proved once again why he is the Carlos Gardel of the 21st century, 'El Mago!' The King is dead - long live The New King of Tango! And the good news is, Alvarado will be back for a further UK tour in June! So if you haven't had a 'tango epiphany' yet, don't miss out then. No matter what. The album reviewed is Elizabeth McCall's Two Different Paths, an extraordinary debut album from this gifted singer-songwriter. Amazing hardly begins to describe this. If you're into Maddy Prior or Kate Bush, this should definitely be for you! Then again, this really should be for absolutely everybody and anybody. In other news, the long overdue Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will of course follow ASAP but maybe a while yet. However, the good news is that the winners will henceforth receive a commemorative plaque, and Rainlore's World is proud to announce that the Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will be sponsored by the prestigious Sampson Low Ltd., one of the UK's oldest publishing houses!

2013/03/27 Much delayed, alas, but you will surely find this update was worth waiting for! In part, this delay was caused by holding out for including the illustrated review of the sensational Nicolas Meier gig. As a consequence, one or two other items regrettably had to be held over to the next update. Here we go, in strict alphabetical order as usual. First, a gig reviewed is Nicolas Meier - Album Launch 'From Istanbul To Ceuta With A Smile' At Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, London W1, Tuesday 19th March 2013 (Illustrated by Alban Low), was a sensation. Although missing Gilad Atzmon and Bernard Gregor-Smith from the album line-up, it lived up to its promise of being a most exciting event. Meier's blend of Turkish music, flamenco and jazz is a unique brand of fusion that has evolved tremendously since his last album. The CD reviewed is Juan María Solare's Tango Monologues, a solo piano album of classic and contemporary tangos from a classical angle. Bristling with excellence, you have to hear this wonderful album. Solare, an Argentinean based at various German universities, is not only an excellent pianist but also a highly original composer, as he more than amply demonstrates here. Viva el tango! In other news, the long overdue Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will of course follow ASAP but maybe a while yet. However, the good news is that the winners will henceforth receive a commemorative plaque, and Rainlore's World is proud to announce that the Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 will be sponsored by the prestigious Sampson Low Ltd., one of the UK's oldest publishing houses! Most regrettably I shall have to severely curtail gig and other live event reviews from now on due to severely constrained finances and in the absence of substantial donations to the site or sponsorship. I shall of course honour any events I have already committed to until August this year. However, beyond that, things are highly uncertain at the moment, and unless there is a positive change in circumstances, I shall not be able to attend more than one event per month at best. Expenses such as fares are simply too much to bear out of my own limited pocket. And speaking of gigs, the irrepressible State Of Undress will be at The Magic Garden, 231 Battersea Park Road, SW11 4LG Tel: 020 7662 4844, this Good Friday night at 9pm! There is an entrance fee of £5.00 after 8.00pm - so why not get there a bit earlier, grab a bite to eat, and then work it all off 'getting naked' (oh yes! I'm Gorgeous, Gok Wan Told Me So!) and shaking along to State Of Undress? As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 77 is available now!

2013/03/10 The best laid plans...! Just one album review this time. That sole album review comes in the form of Anita Rahm's Gitarre ...und andere Klänge. A slightly quirky 'world music' album, it's definitely worth exploring. And if anybody's possibly offended by the cover art - well, all I can say is, tough. Deal with it! In other news, most regrettably I shall have to severely curtail gig and other live event reviews from now on due to severely constrained finances and in the absence of substantial donations to the site or sponsorship. I shall of course honour any events I have already committed to until August this year. However, beyond that, things are highly uncertain at the moment, and unless there is a positive change in circumstances, I shall not be able to attend more than one event per month at best. Expenses such as fares are simply too much to bear out of my own pocket. More news on the Rainlore's World Albums of the Year 2012 had to be postponed till next time. Sorry. Further, Nicolas Meier will launch his album From Istanbul To Ceuta With A Smile at Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho on Tuesday 19th March! Not to be missed! This will be the start of a tour to promote the album. The album features Meier's biggest band so far with all exceptional musicians including: As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 75 is available now!

2013/02/28 Two album and a gig review this time, and some major archiving of inactive pages. The first of the albums reviewed comes from the amazing Kobi Arad Band and Inner Hymns - Creative Exploration of Traditional Jewish Hymns. Very esoteric, highly creative 'Third Stream' from the modern master of this jazz/classical blend. And very deft ivory work from Arad too, as usual. You can catch him live if you're on the US East Coast, particularly the NYC area. Here, this should be of special interest to anyone with even a vague interest in any kind of Jewish music. The second album is Che Sudaka's 10 - alas, a long overdue review that has had to wait in the queue all too long. A bubbling Latin groove album that should really get you going. Indeed, this is totally irresistible 'world beat' at its best. And a gig to blow your socks off comes in the shape of Bethany Jameson & Cabaret Vérité Live At Royal National Theatre Foyer, South Bank, London SE1, Sunday 3rd February 2013. And richly illustrated by Rainlore's World Artist in Residence Alban Low, too! A unique mix of French chansons, Argentinean tangos, cabaret and more from Britain's own Piaf, at the prestigious NT Foyer. The 'A/V Pages' section of Rainlore's World has now been permanently moved to archive. It had long become impossible to maintain/update this. Please note that some of the links may no longer work. The 'Artists' section will be next to be archived as soon as time permits, for the same reason. The next update may take a little time as it's going to be a real biggie! In every sense of the word. Not one, not two, but three gig reviews illustrated by Rainlore's World Artist in Residence Alban Low, and two of them also written by him! The other one's a real biggie in itself. Then, we have a literary review on the topic of art. And of course one or two albums as well. And there's more exciting news on the Rainlore's World Albums Of The Year 2012 next time, too! No, sadly they're not coming along just yet. But exciting news, all the same.

2013/02/17 At last, Pt. 2 of last week's site update! One more album review, and an art exhibition review. Long overdue due to 'congestion' here is Salim Ghazi Saeedi's namoWoman. An extraordinary album from Iran, this comes broadly from the sphere of prog rock / avant rock / prog metal, with a twist. The twist here being the use of the microtones of Persian classical music, which brings this album further into the realm of 'world music.' The art exhibition review comes in the form of Rainlore's World's Artist in Residence's Alban Low - Art Of Folk Exhibition At TwickFolk, The Cabbage Patch, Twickenham, Middx. TW1, Sunday 27th January 2013. Or, to give it its full title, Art of Folk At TwickFolk Twickenham. This comes fully illustrated with nineteen of the twenty glorious images in the show. And moreover, there's a special offer for readers of the review, so you can now own a print by Alban Low at a special price! Of the nineteen folk musicians illustrated, flautist Jacquelyn Hynes is of course already familiar here through her Avalonia project. As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 73 is available now! Of course, also slightly overdue by now are Rainlore's World's Albums Of The Year 2012. There is so much to do, this is inevitable, and they will follow ASAP. However, regrettably this maybe while yet...

2013/02/10 Somewhat delayed due to various 'interludes' of exhaustion, man flu and the like, this site update also had to be split into two parts. Today, here is Pt. 1. Pt. 2 will follow, hopefully, around next Friday. Regrettably, this causes further delays to a number of album and gig reviews long overdue. The current crop of reviews in Pt. 1 in this section consists of an album review, and a dance theatre review of a remarkable triple bill. As usual, in strict alphabetical order... Modern dance theatre comes in the form of a remarkable triple bill featuring Liz Liew & Yuyu Rau - Snapshots, Et Al, The Place, Euston, London WC1H, Saturday 12th January 2013. The live score by Liz Liew to the first piece, Liew & Rau's Snapshots, is also remarkable in itself! Which is why it should be of interest here. A wonderful blend of Western and Chinese elements, with part Western and part Chinese instrumentation, this music is fascinating and beautiful in its own right, and I was instantly hooked by the excerpts first heard on DJ Ritu's A World in London show at the beginning of the year. The album review is of Mark Weinstein's Todo Corazon - The Tango Album - a phenomenal album indeed! The master jazz flautist ventures completely out of his comfort zone and pulls it off. An album all heart, romance and beauty! As the title might imply, this explores the world of Argentinean tango music. It is stunningly beautiful, and fully respects the tradition. Definite reviews for Pt. 2 of this update include Rainlore's World's Artist in Residence Alban Low's exhibition Art of Folk at TwickFolk Twickenham on 27th January! If possible, I might try and cram in some more from what should be the next site update, but no guarantees. In other news, guitar ace supreme Nicolas Meier is very pleased to announce the launch of his new album From Istanbul to Ceuta with a Smile. He will launch the album at Pizza Express Dean Street in London on 19th March 2013. So book your tickets for an exciting show! The album is now out on MGP Records and was reviewed here recently. As ever, don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 72 should be available now!

2013/01/21 Out with the old, in with the new! The 2012 version of this page has now been archived. At the same time, the change in name to Rainlore's World is being further implemented, bit by bit! Rainlore's World is proud to announce that acclaimed fine artist Alban Low has kindly consented to be Artist in Residence of Rainlore's World as of this month. Alban Low is renowned especially for his covers and artwork for CDs, live illustrations of gigs and studio sessions (with a primary focus on jazz - see also his blog Art of Jazz), and animations, including commissions for the BBC, and in 2012 already illustrated several gigs in collaboration with reviews on Rainlore's World. We hope our collaboration will be a long and fruitful one. Some sections will be discontinued and permanently moved to archive shortly as it has regrettably become impossible to maintain them. These include the 'A/V Page' and the 'Artists' page. More on this soon. On with the reviews! Two outstanding albums this time. Nicolas Meier's From Istanbul To Ceuta With A Smile proves yet again that any new Meier album is always worth waiting for! There are surprises galore in store. Meier's brand of world jazz with Turkish and Flamenco influences is certain to be of interest to the 'world music' aficionado, even with its jazz very much to the fore. Then, one of those rare reviews of a compilation album, The Rough Guide To Bluegrass (2nd Ed.) (Various Artists). World Music Network, the 'Rough Guide' franchise holders, have not only come up with a superb introduction to bluegrass music, but a collection that's worth having even if you're already a fan of the genre, and there's also a superb bonus CD, Scott Holstein's Cold Coal Town! A real bargain, too, that should make this unmissable. If you're new to bluegrass, this is a must - discover what you've been missing! Just around the corner is Rainlore's World's Artist in Residence Alban Low's one-day exhibition, Art of Folk, at TwickFolk, Twickenham, this Sunday, 27th January, arising from his six month residency at the well known folk club. It's from 6pm at Twickfolk, The Cabbage Patch, 67 London Rd., Twickenham TW1 3SZ. Admission is free, and music is provided by Alan Franks from 7pm to put you even more in the mood! An event not to be missed! Twickenham train station is a couple of minutes walk and on the Waterloo to Kingston-upon-Thames line. In the meantime, you can find out more about his amazing work and download a catalogue of posters and prints at Alban Low's web site. And don't miss the one and only DJ Ritu's superb A World in London show, which is back after the festive season break since last Wednesday, this week or any week whatever you do, either live on Wednesdays at 2pm on SOAS Radio, or later as play again on SOAS Radio or podcast on iTunes. You can also check Ritu's fab web site for much more! AWiL 69's available now!

2013/01/02 Hello New Year, and Hello Rainlore's World, Good Bye Rainlore's World of Music! The process of changing over of the site's name to Rainlore's World has begun with a change of the logos on all essential section pages, e.g., 'Home,' Jazz,' 'Other World Music,' 'Literary,' and so on. More will follow gradually. Also, more and more pages will have headers and other incidences of the old Rainlore's World of Music changed to Rainlore's World. This change of the site's name is intended to reflect the much broader spectrum the site has come to include over the years. Over the next year or two, a thorough revamp of the site is hoped to be carried out to take this into account and to simplify the site and make it more user-friendly too. For the time being, the domain will remain the same. Comments and suggestions always welcome. Furthermore, with the next full site update, the 2012 portion of this page and all other section pages will be moved to archive, hence the next update may be a little longer than usual. Wishing everyone a Happy 2013
