From South America to Australia, Scandinavia to Polynesia, North America to India and beyond – six continents and the seven seas – music is pouring in from all over the world for the 25th annual Mission Folk Music Festival!

ABOUT TALAVYA:
Globe-trotting percussion ensemble Talavya brings the Indian hand-drums tabla to the center stage, distilling its age-old spirit and practice into a high-energy, highly accessible celebration of rhythm. Composed by Pandit Divyang Vakil, the ensemble plays complex rhythmic structures with split-second perfection, gliding between meditative trance and explosive rock drum power.
OTHER MISSION FOLK FESTIVAL ARTISTS INCL: Eliza Gilkyson (US), Habadekuk (Denmark), Los Pinguos (Argentina), H’Sao (Canada / Chad) and more. Check out www.missionfolkfestival.ca for full line-up.

"We hosted Talavya as part of the Chico World Music Festival and they were a surprise hit for many folks. Fabulous technical expertise, excellent showmanship, and an engaging personality brought scores of new fans to tabla music." - Dan DeWayne, Director, Chico Performances.

Set times TBA.
