Kashmir Through A Musical Lens

Kashmir has always been known as a beautiful land cloaked in an air of mysterious beauty. There are many facets of its culture and its poetry by Kashmiri mystics that remain hidden from the public eye.

This evening, the perfect combination of story and song will give you a view of Kashmir through a musical lens. Contemporary songs retaining a traditional flavour of Kashmir will be sung accompanied by some interesting history (and anecdotes) behind each composition. The songs will range from the poetry of Kashmiri Sufi mystic poet Lal Ded, the love story of Habakhaatoon and King Yusuf Shah Chak to the evergreen Kashmiri classic Bhumbro which tells the story of Yemberzal and Nargis.

Pragnya will be accompanied by Sonic Shori on the bass guitar & Shubhanshu Singh on the lead guitar. The session will be enhanced by traditional Kahwa tea to add to the flavour of the evening.

Pragnya Wakhlu is an award winning singer, songwriter and musician from India. Her songs are about inner reflection and issues she feels strongly about. Her solo act is unique as she makes use of live looping & uses her guitar as a percussive instrument. Known for her powerful vocals, soulful singing style and deep lyrics, Pragnya has been making waves on the music scene in India and abroad. She is also the front woman of the Pune-based band “Soul Strings”.
