Expressing her muse through ghazals and Punjabi folk songs, award winning Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia explores the language of the heart with beautiful artistry and smoldering intensity. Her enchanting and seductive music has garnered glowing praise from critics around the world; Hers is a voice destined to enchant more than one generation.(fROOTS) Most of all, Kiran Ahluwalia is a unique and inspiring performer and composer, whose legion of fans continues to grow with every captivating performance.

With each successive recording, Kiran has moved ever onward from her own musical upbringing, reaching well beyond her extensive training in the genres of traditional ghazal and Punjabi folk music, shaping a style completely her own. On her latest CD, aam zameen : common ground, (available Oct 25th) Kiran successfully merges her contemporary Indian song with the Saharan desert blues of Tinariwen and fellow tribesman Terakaft.

On stage, Kiran is accompanied by a stellar group of musicians: cutting edge NYC guitarist, Rez Abbasi, rising tabla star, Nitin Mitta, hard grooving bassist, Nikku Nayar and superbly melodic harmonium player, Babloo. Together, they are one of North America's most exciting and creative world music groups.

“A rising international star.”—Village Voice

“A powerful woman who has a depth of character in her wonderfully pliable, expressive voice.”—The Observer

"Her crystal clear voice arched superbly above rhythms that coursed through the audience...an evening of fascinating, newly revealed music." - Los Angeles Times
