About the Event
Isheeta on vocals and Ria on classical guitar along with light percussion by Ishan, will perform a bouquet of songs, traditional and original, that delve into the human soul and its pursuit of the Divine. These songs from the subcontinent, from a Bangla kirtan of Narottam Das Thakur to a krithi by Purandharadasa to Sant Tukaram’s Abhang, will trace the journey of a Seeker to find true intimacy with one self and the Divine.
