Kathy Ingraham

Born: December 15

I live in New York but am originally from a small seacoast town in Maine. I’m a very private person sharing my music.  The average attention span for people right now is about 5 seconds. This is maybe two or three measures of music. Guessing. But you get my point.  Here is a little bit about me.  Most of my writing inspiration occurs in places other than at the keyboard. Driving, walking, doing the dishes, re-potting a plant, shopping at the supermarket. Living my Ordinary Life….just doing simple everyday things.I am currently working on a new album and hoping for a June 2022 release date.

Tahina Rahary Malagasy Roots

The project emerges from Tahina’s need to highlight the varieties of influences acquired throughout his musical activity, both in music writing and his guitar technique. It took some years of experimentation, study, research and all the persistence to get the desired results. And it all comes together in the form of the Malagasy Roots, which in its deepest essence aims to merge all the ingredients of many musical styles - having Malagasy music and its peculiar rhythm and melodies as the fundamental basis, going through Portuguese music and Jazz, which is one of the main influences on Tahina training as a musician.
