Shez Raja's Journey to Shambhala ft John Etheridge

Sensational electric bass player Shez Raja launches his highly anticipated new album ‘Journey to Shambhala’.

‘Journey to Shambhala’ is inspired by Raja’s self-composed tale of a young man who embarks on an adventure to discover the mystical city of Shambhala. He has a wild experience of excitement, danger, friendships, love and deceit - told through a musical voyage of soundscapes from exhilarating Indojazzfunk to enchanting ballads. The search for happiness is something we can all relate to and this concept album holds the message that, as in life, the journey often holds as much wonder as the destination.

An exciting and formidable live act on the jazz-funk scene, Shez leads a stunning line-up tonight that features legendary Soft Machine guitarist John Etheridge (Nigel Kennedy, Pat Metheny).

Expect passionate music that blends East with West – a kaleidoscope of thundering funk, euphoric jazz, tuneful ragas and intoxicating grooves.
