Many greetings to all of you from Paco,

Keep an eye peeled for the upcoming launch of our redesigned content site and e-store coming September 2010. We have just finished designing and opening our new global events calendar that will not only be publishing info provided by our staff, but now will now "allow site visitors with Arts & Music events to publicize" place them on our calendar. We'll be adding links to all of our social network friends and next year, as needed, we will also become a twittering site to keep you aware of events coming up. Pacosvillage will have a music and video download store in it, order high-end Gourmet food items from an online European-style deli counter, and many other unique "one-of" kind of treats that you'd expect out of the Pacosvillage artisanal communities.

My Personal Editorial Comment:

______________________________________________________________

Now that we are coming back on-line to publish exciting content from various forms of the Arts communities around the world we are reaching out for story contributors, artists, talent management folks, etc. to get in touch with us with submissions of your works to publish on our site. We don't have the means to pay for content so we are asking for your support, and we'll tag your content with a "Contributed By" a link to your own site, and all the proper taglines to show it as yours.

You'll notice we even opened up a facebook( pacosglobalvillage ) page to reach out. We need content on performance arts, healing arts, visual arts, poetry, public publishing of your manuscripts, and any other contributions that would be of interest to our global community of readers.

but back to the sane world at large( not America) .............my vacation over in Thailand.

Bangkok is still vibrant and beautiful for the eyes, the palate, and the libido, but newest location on my radar is Phuket! This little peninsula (12 hour drive from Bangkok or 1 hour flight) is a dream island paradise. Sights, people, food, nightlife, nightlife, nightlife. As many of you, my long-term readers, know my number #1 best place in the world has always been Amsterdam, well I now have found my "Amsterdam of Asia". So now there is a tie for the best place in my world. Great snorkeling at Phi Phi island's spectacular coral reef, fish caught in morning and cleaned, grilled and eaten right on Patong beach as it comes off the boat, mmmmm. Ocean water warm like bathwater. How good can it get! Next trip is to Chang Mai. A big hello to Noi, Poy, Joy and Toy. Sawaadee Caap!

We have been very active searching out wonderful stories from the many Arts & Music world folks we are meeting during our most recent travels. See below for a short description of one of those great group of artists. You’re in for a real treat when you go into the November, 2009 issue of Paco’s Global Village-it's our fresh new look to move us through rest of 2010.

We're slowly but completely mending all the broken links and broken content sections that resulted from the Hackers last summe doing their damage on us.

I've had so many visitors to the site email me stories of how they read an article of an upcoming event in our calendar, in a country they coincidently were travelling to, and how they went to the event met lots of local folks and it added to the adventure of the new place they were in. Something to look forward to when our newly redesigned Calendar comes online.

We’re still that same World Beat original content environment, and yes, we still are searching for freelance writing contributors to input their articles on the Visual & Performance Arts and Music to us for publishing. Please follow the rules though, we'll need you to ensure that you have the proper rights to publish your articles and photos, or we cannot publish them....

  • A Class Apart- On another one of my wonderful trips to India I met this fine group of musicians and sampled their sounds- and boy are these guys hot. Not to mention they are practiced and serious artitsts- look out Putomayo Records or Groove Gravy Records, you might be missing a hot property here to add to your fine array of World Music talents- we'll talk!!! A Class Apart had just finished a superb 4-day gig at "the leather bar" at the Park Resort in Chennai, India. They're based in Calcutta, India and are trying to break out big, with an expected multi-city tour in the US later this year. Hopefully I can convince one of my club-owner friends to sign them for a night in Los Angeles, that city needs a little class (and I'm being very kind assuming theres any now). Described by the Park "For the lovers of fusion lounge music, it can't get any groovier than this."...
  • What makes them A Class Apart-
    • Neel Adhikari- The co-founder of Class Apart. Composer, programmer, vocalist and guitar player: Also plays the computer steelstring acoustic and nylon string acoustic.
    • Pt. Santanu Bandyopadhyay- The group's other co-founder and the voice of the band. He is a leading Hindustani classical exponent from the Bishnupur Gharana.
    • Shaukut Ali (Chuku)- Chuku is one of the leading guitarists in the East and profoundly influenced by Jazz and Fusion.
    • Chiradeep Lahiri (Chiro)- Chiro is unquestionably the East's most sought after sessions drummer.
    • Mainak Nag Choudhury (Bumpy)- Bumpy is an avid experimental bassist, who takes his instrument beyond its conventional use with his unique style and flair.
    • Partho Banerjee- Creates magical music from his tablas, jimbles, thumbas,mouth percussion, and even strange unique musical objects. A livewire musician.
    Our online store is actively searching out products to sell to our ever expanding global readership once we reopen September 2010, please get in touch with us. We provide the online listing page- under a unique url(s) you use in your ads,website links, or handouts; we provide access to large amounts of traffic coming into our e-store; we process the credit cards for you, fax or email you an order to send out; then we pay you (minus our agreed upon processing fee) once the order shipments have been completed. Email us.

 

Cheers,
Paco
