Today's Episode of Living on Purpose carries on with more of the conversations recorded at Alix Goolden Hall in Victoria during the sound check for the Celebrate Peace Tour, on June 1st, 2008..

You'll hear from Val Pusey, again the organizer of this second appearance of Snatam Kaur, after their Victoria debut in 2007, followed by GuruGanesha Singh (guitar) and Arjun Alan Bruggeman (tabla).

There are glimpses of their music from the 'live' sound check, included with permission.

GuruGanesha is a self-confessed Deadhead, which may account for his near clairvoyant ability to goad and guide the group’s inspired jamming on the music’s open-ended structures. What’s most remarkable about the ensemble is its fluid sense of interplay. These are players deeply attuned to one another and the energy of their audience, which is essential in the style of music shared by Snatam in their “co-formances”.

Arjun has been playing Tabla for the last three years with Krishna Das, and was asked to join this chapter of the Celebrate Peace Tour.
