Gosti

An unmissable world-class world music show!

Gosti brings together three multi-talented musicians who have played together over many years in various combinations (such as Ross Daly’s Australian Labrinth, Dididumdum, The Balkanics, Makedonski Bop and Dva), each player bringing a diverse pack of cards to the table.

Linsey Pollak formed the cross-cultural music Ensemble ‘Slivanje’ for the first ever WOMADelaide and has created dozens of varied music projects including 12 different solo shows which he has toured worldwide. In Gosti, he plays wind instruments that he has made of his own design as well as bass clarinet.

Tunji Beier at the age of ten was studying Yoruba drumming in Nigeria. Six years later he travelled to Bangalore in South India to study percussion for three years at the Karnakata College of Percussion under the mentorship of Mr TAS Mani. In Gosti, he plays mridangam, kanjira, ghatam, zarb and morsing.

Philip Griffin‘s extraordinary talents defy categorisation as they cross so many areas of musical activity as multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, musical director and teacher. He plays a huge range of musical styles and an amazing variety of stringed instruments. In Gosti, he plays oud, laouto, rabab and bass guitar.

The music played by Gosti are original compositions, many of which are influenced by Macedonian traditional music with a focus on rhythmic variation and non-Western modes. Each of the three players brings a diverse array of sounds, skills, styles, and emotional content to the music that develops and extends each of the compositions. The real strength of the trio lies with the journeys on which these pieces take the listener by way of the improvisations and solos of all three players and also by the ease with which they all play and improvise together. The sound of Gosti is fresh, but listeners can also hear the maturity and depth that long-term musical partnerships can bestow.
