Kiran Ahluwalia: Tiny Desk ( Home) Concert
For the second consecutive year, NPR teamed up with globalFEST in January 2021 for a thrilling online music festival we call Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST: three nights, nine bands, and a world of musical traditions hosted by African pop star Angélique Kidjo. Now, we re posting all the sets from our festival as individual Tiny Desk (home) concerts. Bob Boilen, January 29, 2022 Kiran Ahluwalia s original compositions embody the essence of Indian music while embracing influences from Mali and Western blues, rock, R B and jazz. With her sixpiece group of electric guitar, accordion, organ, tabla, bass and drum kit, Ahluwalia creates boundarybreaking songs that invite us to explore the human condition, transcending the self by losing ourselves in a trance of groove and melody. The twotime JUNO and Songlines award winner s openhearted vocals have positioned her as one of global music s most compelling crosspollinators. globalFEST SET LIST Dil Ra
