Description
In 1978 Charly Wintermeyer went to India in order to study Indian classical music (Hindustani – means north Indian style). Having spent six years learning the tabla, the important north Indian drum popularised in the west by Zakir Hussain, and having given four years to the study of the art of singing, in 1990 he took up the traverse Indian bamboo flute (Bansuri).All together Charly spent about 20 years in India. He always felt a deep connection with the Indian culture and by means of his music assumed the role of an envoy of Indian culture. On the other hand he is extremely open to experimental styles which his worldmusic projects and different chill out and ambiance recordings give evidence for. Tours in Germany Portugal, France and Ireland.
since then many other musical journeys followed. a trip to thailand and laos ,was specially bneficial. charly played in a big buddha cave in laos near vang vieng and the footage can be seen on youtube. a trip to japan in 2010 led him to yamauto festival and brought about a new musical friendship beetween isaac mathis and charly. tag charly wintermeyer on youtube and you find more than 30 videos, of which many are recorded in japan.
