Details:
Composer and lyricist, singer and guitarist, Mathew Joseph, from the coastal state of Kerala in the south west of India, brings to the stage of World Music his new CD release, Firefly - a reflection of his experiences with the magic and mystery of his homeland, and of his many travels in the high Himalayas.

A childhood filled with music, many years spent exploring a variety of musical styles and his recent re-union with multi-instrumentalist Oliver Rajamani and reggae virtuoso David Estes have resulted in a delightful celebration of sound and a refreshing journey of the spirit.

Mathew was finalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2004 and the U.K Songwriting Contest 2005 in the Instrumental category with the track "Kaliyug". His instrumental compositions for Waterspout theatre's production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" have recieved much critical acclaim.
