Hi there!

If there are any European/Western nationalities here in Saigon who are inclined to play music at my cafe please let me know. I have a Belgian friend who plays Sitar and he is playing with 2 other Australians every month. This is not a full band music. It's more of a jamming session of good music, not the loud ones as our cafe is not equipped to cater a full band. More of acoustic...

We give token of 300,000 vnd Geisha Voucher for each musician who will play. Maximum of 3. I want variety of musicians, so let me know if any here are interested to practice their talents :)

thanks!

Hello JOanie,
I have been in your cafe and like it very much. I am Spanish and play Brazilian guitar (choro,samba,etc). I'd be willing to play with other good musicians if you know some in your cafe (not only European or Australians!). Let me know if you're interested, maybe I can pop into Cafe Geisha and have a chat soon if you've got time. My number is 01262289482.
Ciao
Juanjo

Thanks for all the reply on the thread!!! and also for all the musicians and DJ who PM me for this post. I found good musicians who will play for my cafe already. One acoustic guitar with vocals and another guy plays saxophone. I still welcome interested musicians who has a unique way of showcasing their music. Our cafe aims to be the venue of the non mainstream music and leaning towards a more artistic and crisp style. Our current pride is NAYA BAiNDA. They performed 3x already and the cafe was jampacked every time they perform. They are composed of SITAR, Didgeridoo and a DJ who mix some beats when they perform.

Hi,

I am Richard Marly, and I'm a professional jazz and blues singer.
I have often sung with a big Filippino band in China.
I am in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City right now, on a 3 week holiday, but I love it so much I want to live here.
I am happy to sing anywhere for free on this holiday.
I can sing with musicians, and I have my own backing tracks if no musicians available.
I also want to find a pianist to form a partnership.
I can find the work, as i am good at marketing.
Floyd, the leader of the Filippino Big Band Theory in Zhuhai, China said that I was the best standards singer in Asia, so if he is right, we will love playing together.
Here are my contact details:


If you are interested, please contact me as soon as you can?

Best regards,
Richard
