Summer Bummer Festival: Susie Ibarra & Tashi Dorji

Summer Bummer Festival: Susie Ibarra & Tashi Dorji

The duo of American percussionist Susie Ibarra and the highly original Bhutanese guitarist Tashi Dorji (Kuzu) is an unexpected collaboration, proving once again that improvised music doesn’t follow the beaten path. After earning high praise for her collaborations with David S. Ware, John Zorn and William Parker in the nineties, Ibarra has been at the forefront of creative music ever since, focussing on composing as well as performing. In 2019 she joined Tashi Dorji (who played a solo set at Summer Bummer last year) on stage as part of an exhibition about the Indian Buddhist master Padmasambhava. The live recording of that concert was released on Astral Spirits as ‘Master Of Time’, one of the best guitar/drum albums in many years and a preview of what you can expect at Summer Bummer.
