Kiran Ahluwalia
"Kiran Ahluwalia"

Kiran was born in India and raised in Toronto and this is one of the best contemporary ghazal albums I've heard in years. She is perhaps the new Najma Akhtar, using the lyrics of Urdu and Punjabi poets in Toronto as well as the Cape Breton fiddling talents of Natalie McMaster. Ahluwalia's voice is caressing and seductive and the arrangements are magnificent. In short, this is a masterful album (actually her third) and Kiran Ahluwalia is clearly a name to watch.
