The March 8 general election made it clear that Malaysians have unequivocally articulated their rights through the democratic process. In today's world where democracy has teetered, this is heartwarming news. We feel privileged to have witnessed this at first hand and to observe the re-drawing of the political landscape in Malaysia. |

 Farhad's Cultureyard International has had some notable successes lately, as in recent sellout shows by Groundation and other name reggae bands at Seattle's Nectar club as well as at Neumos, Portland (OR) and other venues in the US northwest. The addition of a 12-seater bus and a Mazda sedan to Farhad's inventory has opened up new opportunities for providing quality services to visiting reggae, r&b and jazz groups. Besides his regular shows in Seattle and Portland (Oregon), Farhad recently held his annual Bob Marley Festival in these cities. Other exciting news is the recent sellout show by "Cool Ruler" Gregory Isaacs at Neumos, Mad Professor and The Everyday Prophets at Nectar, and an Easter Special appearance by Sister Carol at Neumos. Says Farhad: "My productions continue to get better and this year will mark new turfs. I'm excited!" |

Characteristically, Farhad has been really busy this season! His recent events at Seattle's Nectar Lounge showcased US-based reggae bands Mystic Roots and Rise-n Shine, as well as his own Unite-One group in which he plays bass. He presented the legendary Third World group on the 5'th and 6th of August, showing his progression towards the musical big time. His Culture Yard Band will be performing at Seattle's humongous Hempfest 21-22 August. 
The demand for Tall Grass Bakery's specialty breads is booming and Farhad has been clocking record sales in the farmers' markets around Seattle. |
