In Episode 4 of the Handpan Studio podcast, we have an amazing conversation with the one and only Kabeçao. Not only are we hearing what his name actually means (for all of us none Portuguese speakers, you wouldn't have guessed). We're also talking about the struggles of becoming a musician when it comes to receiving support by our family, Kabe's house and of course we asked him the question we are all wondering about: How did you become this good of a handpan player? Tune in and enjoy. https://www.kabecao.com https://www.handpanstudio.com
Malte Marten joins us in this episode of the Handpan Studio Podcast. Recounting the moment we first discovered the handpan, Malte shares his experience and the urge he felt to share this unique instrument with the world. From going out to the streets, playing in a metro station, to eventually reaching an amazingly wide audience via online means and social media.
In our second episode of the Handpan Studio Podcast we welcome Amy Naylor. Being surrounded by music from early childhood memories, Amy shares her journey overcomming shyness and social anxiety through music. Her stories of personal growth, community, and the shift from playing covers to creating original compositions are both inspiring and insightful. We also delve into the communal spirit that music can deliver, the empowering resonance of Taiko drumming and the beauty of affinity spaces. Shared passion for music remind us of its power to transform, connect, and uplift. Let the melodies of this conversation carry you away and perhaps even inspire your own musical exploration.

Along the way we swap stories about our first encounters with the handpan, share tips on getting your instrument past TSA and wrap it up with a round of lightning speed Q&A's.
