Kiran Ahluwalia
Flato Markham Theatre
Two-time Juno winner Kiran Ahluwalia’s open-hearted vocals have established her as one of global music’s most compelling cross-pollinators. Her six-piece band is led by ace guitarist Rez Abbasi whose accolades include the Guggenheim Fellowship. Kiran and Rez are a real-life couple, one born in India, the other in Pakistan. Having grown up in the diaspora, they crossed ethnic and religious lines between their two warring motherlands to forge a musical and life partnership. Together they craft songs that are equal parts reflective and groovy and bring together the disparate traditions of Indian music, West African blues, and jazz.
