Critically-acclaimed, cutting edge world music ensemble, Autorickshaw brings together special guests and collaborators that have performed with the group over their almost decade-long history. Combining contemporary jazz and funk with the classical and popular music of India, Autorickshaw has brought many collaborative projects to the Lula stage. In honour of the venue’s 10th anniversary, Autorickshaw will revisit some of the ground-breaking material that was originally presented at Lula, and they'll give a preview of some of the material from Autorickshaw's new album (to be released this summer/fall). This heavier, layered sonic landscape is driving and danceable, and includes sensual reinterpretations of Indian folk songs, groove-driven Canadian pop with hints of Bollywood, and hypnotic south Asian traditional selections with a twist.
Autorickshaw is:
Justin Abedin - guitars
Collin Barrett - bass
Dylan Bell - keys
Ed Hanley - tabla
Ben Riley - drum kit
Suba Sankaran - voice Featuring special guests:
Gordon Sheard - accordion
George Koller - dilruba This concert is presented in collaboration with Small World Music as part of their Asian music series.
Special thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts and Toronto Arts Council for their generous support of this concert production.

Dec 3rd, 2010 was the 26th anniversary of the Bhopal Gas Disaster, and last year at this time we released a song called City of Lakes to raise funds for the Sambhavna Clinic in Bhopal. We are pleased to report that we have raised $500 from sales of the song (rounded up by the band) and have sent the funds to the clinic.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased the song so far...and if you haven't purchased it yet, you can still buy the single. AND...we're releasing a completely *new* version on our upcoming album, with proceeds from the sale of the track going to the clinic. |
