About
The premiere of Simon Thackerโs latest pioneering intercultural explorations with a special trio line-up of his award-winning Indo-Western ensemble.
It features Scotlandโs visionary guitar virtuoso/composer with the soulful voice khamak playing of Raju das Baul, spectacular exponent of one of Bengalโs spiritually richest folk forms, and Delhi born tabla master Sarvar Sabri. Simon brings his acclaimed compositional voice to the mystical, universally affecting Baul tradition, and showcases his stunning instrumental music.
โOh lucky, lucky Edinburgh. Simon Thacker is, in my opinion, one of the most important musicians of his generation.โ โ
