YESHE

April 28, 2017 7:30 pm. After a five-year break, authentic world musician Yeshe, from Australia, will be performing songs from his newly-released album Woven with delightful opener Diane Nalini Trio.An authentic world musician, German-born Yeshe wandered all over the globe before settling in Australia. His travels brought him to Europe, Africa, Asia and Quebec. Yeshe will launch his five-song EP Woven, his most personal release to date, on March 3. "I have finally found my voice, my sound," he says, beaming. "It really speaks to who I am as a musician, and the lyrics are very dear to me - they come from a deep place." Woven is a musical oasis that comforts the soul and delivers welcome sanctuary in these uncertain times.A man of many talents, Yeshe learned guitar, cello and drums before taking on traditional African instruments, such as the m'bira and n'goni, which he wields quite masterfully today. Yeshe will play songs off Woven while on tour in Quebec and in Ottawa, as well as pieces from his first two albums, World Citizen (2005) and Roots & Wings (2010), the latter of which features his splendid cover of Zachary Richard's classic "La ballade de Jean Batailleur.". 245 Centrum Blvd.Ottawa, ON K1E 0A1..
