DALAI LAMA RENAISSANCE Sound Track Album features teachings from His Holiness the Dala Lama with narration by Harrison Ford interwoven with the varied cast of international musicians and composers. The album will be ready for release later this year - 2008.
We have spent the past two years recording the music featured in the soundtrack, as well as mixing this feature length documentary and finalizing the audio post production.
Michel Tyabji, Co-Founder of Limitless Sky Records, will be performing with the renowned Tibetan artist Techung at this year's Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia. Check it out here:
TECHUNG: Techung is a prominent Tibetan singer/songwriter living in exile in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is best known for his performances of traditional Tibetan music, dance, and opera under the name Tashi Dhondup Sharzur. He uses his childhood nickname, Techung, when performing as a solo artist. Whether performing in traditional or contemporary styles, Techung's dual goals are to revive Tibetan music in the Tibetan community and to expose the rich performing cultural tradition of his homeland to the world community.

NDALA KASHEBA
Yellow Card
Congo-born in Tanzania, he's what guitar paradise is made of even though that heavenly collection passed him by. Definitive is the 12-string acoustic he cradles in both photos. Sustaining is gentle singer Baziano Bweti, who died in 2002 preaching AIDS education. Of good cheer are King Malou's perky alto themes on "Massamba" and the super-collectible "Kokolay." Also nice are the clicks, the claps, the coro. You believe in staying positive? East African soukous is still writing the book. A MINUS

NEW AFRICAN COMPOSERS, VOL. 1
“…New African Composers is an essential listen for anyone interested in the origins of so much of this world's music, from ska and jazz to salsa and merengue. It is simultaneously a history lesson and a glance into the future evolution of what has become generically known as "world" music. It is certainly a must for those who appreciate the syncopated beats of hip-hop, or the free-verse improvisation of jazz.”

GARIKAYI TIRIKOTI
"MAIDEI"
The Portland Phoenix
Issue Date: December 5 - 11, 2003
The spiritually charged music of Zimbabwe’s Shona people has inspired a worldwide cult following. Recordings of the mbira, a 22-iron-pronged hand piano, circulate among the faithful but rarely make it into record stores. This one, coming from a new label specializing in Tanzanian music, stands out from the pack. Tirikoti is a phenomenon, in part because he uses a range of mbiras in different tunings to expand the instrument’s sonic range and in part because he plays with amazing speed and precision.
