LA Daily News, CD Review >>
Ahluwalia's debut has been on Billboard's world charts for nearly a year and, in recent months, she has become an NPR favorite. Born in India, raised in Canada, Ahluwalia performs ghazal, a type of romantic singing that originated in Persia (now Iran) 1,000 years ago. But there's nothing dusty about this music, which has been modernized with jazzy guitars, drums, harmonium and fiddle. The results stay true to India's musical heritage, while broadening it to include other sounds (Celtic among them) as well. And Ahluwalia's voice is strikingly beautiful. She'll be performing Saturday and Sunday at the Getty Center.
