Today I'm sitting down with Kumar Shome. Kumar is a prolific, virtuoso guitarist and composer. A legend in the Australian music scene, he's played and toured with a ton of artists, including but not limited to Sampa the Great, Mulatu Astake, Silent Jay, REMI, The Bamboos and The Cat Empire, as well with his own band Kumar Shome and The Punkawallahs. He's also a great teacher, and I was lucky enough to get lessons from him for a few years in high school.
