To all Prem Joshua fans out there!! The Temple of Fine Arts (TFA) and the Vijayaratnam Foundation proudly presents PREM!! (Prem Joshua & the musicians of TFA's Inner Space live in concert)
Multi instrumentalist & composer prem Joshua is a pioneer in the field of World Music, exploring & creating a new synthesis in sound which takes us beyond the borders of both east & west.
Haunting melodies on the sitar, bamboo flute & soprano sax soar over driving tabla rhythms - ancient sanskit & sufi poems are re-awakened by captivating songs & chants. And while drawing inspirations from these deep wells of the musical traditions of the east, Joshua has never lost touch with the pulse of contemporary western music. over the years he has continued to refine his awesome talent for fusion, mixing meditative classical indian ragas with highly energetic compositions, modern cutting-edge sounds & grooves, to create a music both distinctive & unique.
He is now the number 1 bestselling world music artist in India and the daily newspaper 'The Times of India' has lauded him as the new 'Guru of Fusion'.In 2003, the BBC nominated him for its prestigious 'World Music Listeners Award'.
In early 2005, MTV invited Joshua & his band to give a half-hour live performance during one of their regular MTV live shows in Bombay. His performance was broadcast on TV several times - a rare opportunity for a musician of his genre to be featured on a TV music channel that otherwise concentrates mainly on mainstream music.
Besides being busy with composing & studio recording, Prem Joshua has always been a passionate live performer - he is as much at home on a stage in Bombay as in the clubs of New York, touring the globe for almost 7 months each year. In Malaysia, Joshua performs live alongside multiple award winning musicians of TFA's Inner Space - Jyotsna Prakash, Kumar Karthigesu & Prakash Kandasamy, themselves highly acclaimed musicians & composers, to create a 2 hour music concert that will take east - west fusion music to an entirely new dimension, that is at once soulful, meditative & exciting. Together making up a symphony comprising of the sitar, bamboo flute, soprano saxophone, piano, keyboards & table, PREM promises to be a night of sheer enjoyment & musical fulfillment.
