13) Thar Nge. A young burmese singer. I accompanied him on the piano for some highly clicked youtube videos! ;-)

In Gitameit in 2014 I met Thar Nge during our jazz workshop week for the Gitameit music center. 
He is a young and very talented singer, I remember him as so eager. He just wanted to learn as many things as he could.

 He tried to find a way to broaden his knowledge and develop his talents as a musician. We were thinking about Germany/Europe. But these plans excelled my power to help him.

He found another way and in the meantime he studied composition in Bangkok.

He is famous in Myanmar! ;-) If you follow more of his videos you'll find he is more of a pop singer. 

In 2014 he offered me to do a video. There was no time left, our schedule was too busy. But in 2015 I remembered my promise and we videotaped two tunes.
Tagu Films, a young burmese film team did the wonderful job. And that day was fun!!!

Someone even did an english translation of Thar Nge´s lyrics on youtube!
Check that!

Who came to Burma first in 2004 to learn about Burmese music as an music-ethnologist. In 2010 she was working for the Goethe Institute Yangon, organized and created collaborations between Burmese musicians and European musicians. That is how Tim Isfort and Jan Klare first met Thaung Htike .  And that was also how Daphne and Thaung Htike met. Daphne is a very important linking role. She speaks Burmese, she knows the people and their music and she can translate during the process of rehearsing.  Wich is quite important, otherwise sometimes there is no understanding in words and alas no chance to work at musical details. Tim Isfort (former festival manager of "Traumzeit" Duisburg, recently f...
