Qais Essar + Sonny Singh: SANGAT
2 volunteer spots available ^ text 310.460.8619
Join us for the Los Angeles live debut and album release show for Sangat, a new project led by Afghan-American rabab virtuoso, Qais Essar & Sikh American trumpet player / singer, Sonny Singh.
Weaving together the ancient sound and haunting melodies of the rabab, a 2,500 year-old instrument from Afghanistan, with bold trumpet lines and anthemic Punjabi vocals, Qais and Sonny ground their music in ancestral wisdom and usher us into the future with their uplifting new sound. Drawing inspiration from hundreds of years old mystical poetry from the Sikh, Sufi, and radical bhakti traditions, their music centers oneness and connection in times of increasing division and hierarchy.
