ABOUT KIRAN AHLUWALIA
If yearning had a musical form it would be ghazals, the Indian and Persian sung poetry often about unrequited love.
Singer Kiran Ahluwalia (India/Canada) finds inspiration in both ancient and modern poetry and is one of the few people in the Western hemisphere composing new music for ghazals. Her latest album Wanderlust(4Q Records/World Connection) draws on fado, Saharan African blues, jazz, and is more than ever demonstrating Kiran’s continual journey to bring her uniquely modern ghazal style into a contemporary and global context.
