space
Iran’s Kayhan Kalhor and India’s Shujaat Husain Khan reunite in London to continue their longtime Persian and Indian collaboration. This highly influential group has toured the world over to critical acclaim and is praised for creating an original, delicate Indo-Persian fusion blending their two distinctive classical music traditions: the Persian dastgah and North Indian raga and instruments: the kamancheh and sitar. Intertwined historically, geographically and culturally for centuries, these musical styles share some formal elements and modes which allow for exquisite and harmonious dialogue between the two traditions. They will be joined on tabla by virtuoso percussionist Sandeep Das.
