Kiran Ahluwalia
Kiran Ahluwalia has one two JUNO (Canadian Grammy) awards for her open-hearted vocals.
With guitarist husband Rez Abbasi leading her band, Kiran has traveled the world bringing together the disparate traditions of Indian music, West African Blues and Jazz – as she and Rez, her born in India, he in Pakistan, have personally crossed ethnic and religious lines together.
“I’ve taken aesthetics I love such as blues, Malian styles, and of course Indian forms and mashed them together in my own way,” explains Ahluwalia.
