Manu Delago is, hands down, the MOST influential handpan player in the world. He's been playing since 2003 and has introduced the world to a very percussive and professional style of playing. Manu was also the first player to introduce our amazing instrument to the world high level collaboration.

Does this mean we've made it?! We're sitting down with Founder and CEO of the first ever record label for handpan music - Future Rust Records. Lauri Wuolio is the visionary behind Future Rust and is also an incredibly accomplished handpan player himself.

A big purpose of The Handpan Show is to highlight the people that are driving the handpan artform forward...which is why we HAD to have Alexandre Lora on immediately! If you're not familiar with Alexandre's work, we're jealous that you get to hear it for the first time!

The Handpan Show is live!! Who better to kick it off with than Colin Foulke. Colin has been a pillar of the handpan community since 2009 and as a player, a builder, and now a leading representative of the HCU (Handpan Community United).

Welcome to The Handpan Show! This podcast is hosted by Dan Mulqueen and David Charrier and will be an in-depth look into the handpan world. Each episode will feature a guest and center around a topic related to their style of playing and use of the handpan in their music.

In addition to this introduction, we've also launched the first full episode with Colin Foulke. Head over to our channel to check it out.
