Whether singing a Nina Simone cover or a song composed for her, Joanne leaves no audience indifferent with her velvety voice and magnetic stage presence. After spending ten years with the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir, Joanne published YôYê in 2004, an album consisting of original songs or adaptations and two covers: "Feeling Good" and "Iko Iko." An invitation to travel through song, YôYê is a reflection of Montreal's vibrant blend of métissages. The artist has since spent time honing her craft and expanding her repertoire." - https://www.joannegriffith.com/ "DR.Pandit RANAJIT SENGUPTA is one of the Best Sarode Player & Music Composer from India having performed in more than 45 countries around the world for last 27 years.

The small, conical righthand drum is called the dayan and is used to created treble or tonal sounds. The larger, kettledrum-like lefthand drum is called the baya and is used for producing bass. The tabla owes its unique sound to the coat of syahi "tuning paste" applied to specific areas on the skin of each drum. The sarod is a fretless stringed instrument used in Hindustani music. The sarod commonly has between 17 and 25 strings made of steel or phosphor bronze which are plucked with a triangular plectrum called a javvva. It is often used to produce a meend, a type of glissando characteristic of Hindustani music. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
