The Yoginis World Fusion Band Returns to India to Create More Award-winning Music Incorporating a New Trend in Fundraising through Kickstarter.com

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) March 24, 2011

Yogi And The Yoginis were recently featured on The Jazz Network Worldwide for their new release “Terra Shivaiya”, a world music release spanning several styles and integrating Indian classical with Jazz, as well as the Brazilian and Latin Jazz styles they are most known for. Reviewer for The Jazz Network Worldwide, Steve Getz (son of renowned saxophonist Stan Getz) had this to say about the project: Yogi has assembled a diverse and talented group of multi-cultural musicians, all in one superb recording This is truly a one of a kind recording!

This unique style of music that blends east-west fusion was recorded in India and was heard in the award-winning documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance, which played to sold-out audiences in film festivals around the world. An Instrumental version of the track ‘Songbird’ will appear in the new Morgan Spurlock film, “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” to be released in late 2011. The song “Basant Blue” from the Terra Shivaiya album was chosen as a Finalist in the World Category of the World of Music Awards by the WOMEX organization.

After forming Yogi and the Yoginis, Yogi McCaw studied rhythmic cycles with Vishal Nagar of Delhi and collaborated on creating new and innovative east-west fusions. Yogi traveled to Vishal’s home in Delhi to co-compose and record the Six East pieces with him and his brother vocalist Ujwal Nagar. “We formed the compositions, rehearsed the material carefully with the musicians, and worked tirelessly with the engineers until the early morning hours, night after night, to get all the Indian instruments properly recorded and pre-mixed” says Yogi. The Yoginis USA band members recorded the Western instruments. The whole project required using three different recording studios, five engineers, and a total of fifteen musicians on both continents. “Im very grateful to my many world music friends who came forward to collaborate with me on “Terra Shivaiya” states McCaw.

JAZZIZ Magazine will feature the next ‘Yoginis’ CD, which will be produced in India this summer. Yogi, once again an innovator, found out about an online fundraising source that would allow for their fans and friends to contribute to his musical endeavors, entitled Kickstarter. This is a new trend in the music world for independent artists to find a way to create budgets for these types of collaborations.

Some quotes about Yogi and the Yoginis:

Derek Sivers, the founder of CD Baby, says simply, “Yogi McCaw is the best!”

Best Investment for 2012; The Pop/Rock Band, Cutting Edge

Posted on by


(PRWEB) January 09, 2012

In the days of bands requiring high guarantees to perform in concert, with little return on the investment for the investor or corporate sponsor; Cutting Edge, a pop/rock band from Phoenix, AZ is revolutionizing how business is done in the music industry.

It is not unexpected for recording artists to charge $ 100,000 or more per night, but with the new business model being presented by Cutting Edge, the band will forego a guarantee payment per concert and instead the investor and/or corporate sponsor will pay the band $ 50,000 on a monthly basis (a salary) and split the profits on a 70-30 basis at the end of the 2012 – 2013 concert tour. Since Cutting Edge is foregoing their performance guarantee per concert, the cost of each producing each concert has been lowered to approx. $ 15,000 per night. Representatives for Cutting Edge project that even if the band only sold four thousand seats sold at $ 15 each, there is a potential gross profit of $ 60,000 per night and after taxes and building cost, this will leave a potential net profit of approx. $ 30,000 per concert and a breakeven of approx. 1,000 tickets sold. Representatives for the band feel that the band will easily exceed the 4,000 seats sold.

Cutting Edge representatives state that an even more attractive part of this new business model is that the band is offering a 30% across the board participation in all ticket, merchandise and CD sales at the concerts and over the internet. According to Mr. Jeffrey Beals, a former partner of the William Morris Agency, merchandise sales can contribute almost $ 6 profit per seat at a concert, and with an expectation of 4,000 seats being sold per concert, that is an additional profit potential of almost $ 24,000 in merchandise sales per concert or a total potential net profit of over $ 50,000 per concert when combining ticket sales with merchandise sales.
