About Event
Asaf has been a student and performer of Carnactic song, under the tutelage of Kirupakaran. In this special performance Asaf brings his love of the genre along with his favourite south Indian musicians for a set of improvised songs. Carnatic music is the classical music tradition of South India, known for its spiritual roots, intricate melodies (ragas), complex rhythmic cycles (talas), and emphasis on vocal expression, incorporating subtle microtonal nuances and rich devotional compositions that blend structured frameworks with deep improvisation.
Line Up: Asaf Sirkis – drums, Jyotsna Srikanth (MBE) – Carnatic violin, Acharya Ratna Sri P. Kirupakaran – Mridangam (double headed drum), Kajan Kugendran – Khanjira & Ruchira Sharma guest singer
