1. seh sek hoi
Seh Sek Hoi: A chemical combustion of musical cultures.
Formed together in October ’99, Seh Sek Hoi is a musical experience that brings together the power and beauty of cultures from around the world. Experimenting in the genre of World Music, Seh Sek Hoi is an inter-cultural fusion of music and instruments from West Africa, Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, New Zealand Maori, China, India and South America. With respect and sensitivity for tradition, combined with each member’s unique styles and influences, Seh Sek Hoi transcends all boundaries by blending this music from around the world into a dynamically explosive display of life and colour.
The success and popularity of Seh Sek Hoi is illustrated by an abundance of performances, many of which they have enjoyed performing with leading Australian World Music Artists such as ‘Sirocco’, ‘Sabahattin Akdagcik’, ‘Brassov’, ‘Satsuki Odamura’, Tony Lewis’, ‘Jim Franklin’, ‘Tony Wheeler’, Voices from a Vacant Lot’, ‘Mara and Llew Liek’, Monsieur Camembert’, ‘Geng Gong’, ‘Venus’ and ‘Fasil Istanbul’.
Other performances have include the ‘Penrith Big Party’, celebrating the closing of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, ‘Penrith Multicultural Festival', ‘Orange Blossom Festival 2000’, ‘Sydney 2000 Olympic Torch Celebrations’, the ‘Turkish Earthquake Relief Concert’ held at the University of N.S.W, the ‘Werrington Multicultural Festival’, ‘Australia’s Wonderland Dance Parties’, ‘Wipe In’ held at the University of Western Sydney, the ‘End Child Prostitution Benifit Concert’, ‘Around the World’ and ‘The Meaning of Dance?’ Seh Sek Hoi are also very proud to be opening and leading the ‘2001 Walk Against Want’ in Sydney organised by Community Aid Abroad ...

Caribbean Blues best describes the music of Jungular Grooves percussive Anglophone Caribbean music that is sharpened by stinging Blues guitar, honking sax, and Doo-Wop style vocals. The seamless and completely natural blending of these elements has the effect of making Jungular Grooves seem at once exotically international yet soothingly familiar.
Jungular Grooves centers upon the seductively warm, dusky, Bluesy baritone vocals, tasty Blues-tinged guitar and evocative songwriting of auteur Reggie Benn. He is teamed with the screaming, searing, soaring, artful saxophone playing of the right Reverend Robert James Haven to front a stunningly original synthesizer-free musical offering which also features Steve Parks on bass and supporting vocals; Ralph Gibbs on drums and supporting vocals; Michael Corbett on congas, percussion and drums; and Holly Elder on steel drums.
Jungular Grooves music is an outgrowth of Reggie Benn's West Indian musical upbringing and his musical explorations while playing and recording with artists such as the late African Palm Wine Music progenitor, Souleman Rougie, and New Orleans Tropical big band Cool Breeze.
As is the fashion in their native Barbados, Benn's entire family played and sang Calypsos on holidays, which planted the musical seeds in young Reggie. He was also infused with Gospel music in church and American Doo-Wop on the street corners of Boston, where his family eventually settled.
A wonderful new release from the critically acclaimed Jungular Grooves.
Anglophone Caribbean music with blues guitar, sax, and doo-wop style vocals. Centered upon the baritone vocals, guitar work and songwriting of Reggie Benn.
