At the center of Kiran Ahluwalia’s music is love in all its shades, from the yearning romantic to the divine love of Sufi Mysticism.
She is a modern exponent of the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan which she honors intensely yet departs from in masterful, personal ways. Her original compositions embody the essence of Indian music while embracing influences from both the West and Africa -- specifically the Sahara. With her 5-piece group of electric and acoustic guitar, harmonium, tabla and electric bass, Ahluwalia creates boundary-breaking songs that invite us to explore the human condition, transcending the self by losing ourselves in love.
Born in India, raised in Canada and currently living in New York City – Ahluwalia's last CD, Aam Zameen: Common Ground was awarded her second JUNO Award. Her discography, now six albums deep is one of global music’s most interesting adventures. Her new album, Sanata : Stillness to be released October 2014 is a hybrid of Indo-Saharan music.
