Sound exists everywhere…in
the warmth of a spring breeze, in the ground
beneath your footsteps, in the silence of a
still picture…
Come enter the world
of Gurpreet Chana…a world of exploring
and creating sounds…in everything we experience
through ALL our senses. Watching him perform
is an experience allowing you to unleash every
momentary emotion as he takes you on a rhythmic
journey in a flurry of passion. Each time, being
uniquely distinct with its own characteristics,
leaving you speechless…waiting for the
next ride.
The travel along this
path began 22 years ago as Gurpreet began to
learn Indian Classical Tabla in the Punjab Gharana
(style) from his Ustad Ji Professor Parshotam
Singh. He started by playing at the Gurdawara
with kirtan and continues to do so, but as of
late he has added a unique flavour to his music
and mesmerizes crowds with Tabla Fusion.
Growing up in Canada,
Gurpreet had the fortunate opportunity of being
subjected to various types of music. The music
he creates and performs is an expression of
the cultural diversity he experienced growing
up in a multicultural society. This musical
experience is expressed by taking the exquisite
rhythmic patterns of the tabla and merging them
with all genres of music. Gurpreet's passion
for percussion instruments has lead him to experiment
with other world beats playing the djembe, congas,
dhol, zarb, doumbek, daf, or anything he can
get his hands on!
Gurpreet’s
music is a thought provoking journey of the
soul and mind, emancipating fears, ignorances,
and systematic beliefs by always pushing the
envelope of continuous learning of the self.
Come with what you may but leave with the greatest
KUSHI. There’s a new journey of sound
and passion…make sure to taste some for
your self!
