Kiran Ahluwalia

Kiran Ahluwalia is a modern exponent of the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan which she honors yet departs from in masterful, personal ways. Her original compositions embody the essence of Indian music while embracing influences from West African Blues and Jazz. With her 6-piece group of electric guitar, accordion, organ, tabla, electric bass and drum kit, Ahluwalia creates boundary-breaking songs that invite us to explore the human condition, transcending the self by losing ourselves in a trance of groove and melody.
