Product Description
From Amazon.com
Aluwalia was born in India, grew up in Canada, and now lives with her husband and musical collaborator, Rez Abbasi, a native of Pakistan, in New York City. A longtime devotee of ghazals, ancient romantic poetry originally written in Urdu (she is one of the few modern artists to compose new music for these odes), she recently found herself enthralled by fado (literal translation--"fate"), Portugal's impassioned, doom-laden, yet somehow stately contribution to the world's lovelorn repertoire. Sensing a common chord between the two traditions, she sought out some noted specialists in the latter field, including guitarist José Manuel Neto and bassist Ricardo Cruz, along with accordionist Enzo d'Aversa. The result was a trio of tunes ("Jo Dil," "Haath Apne," "Haal-e-Dil") in which the two styles are blended and transformed into a mysteriously apt and no less heartrending third entity. The balance of the album is dedicated to further intercultural experiments, in which elements of Indian classical music, filmi (soundtrack) vocals, Western blues, and African influences alternate and join forces, underpinning the singer's silkily sinuous, sensual voice. One track, "Aks," even wanders into Brazilian bossa nova territory with no transitional shock whatsoever. Traditional instruments and percussion abut a stinging electric guitar, as boundaries are less surmounted than calmly and cheerfully ignored, to wonderful effect. --Christina Roden

An Indian nightingale,
By mandarin "mandarin2001" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wanderlust (Audio CD)
I first heard Kiran on a compilation CD, which I've since long forgotten. I have almost worn holes in my Kiran CD's!Her music is accessible to anybody, and different people will appreciate different aspects of her music because her style is so diverse. Her voice is unbelievable and it carries you on a journey up and down scales only to be dreamed of by pop artists, with scary accuracy. My favourite track on the CD is Yakeenan, but I love all of them, there isn't a "space filler" anywhere to be seen. You don't even need to understand the many languages spoken in India to understand and appreciate Kiran's music, because the emotion evoked in the passion of her voice transcends any boundaries of language. This and another CD called by her name are my two favourite CD's. They can be difficult to get hold of, so buy asap! I promise you won't be disappointed. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

I recently discovered Kirian and her music, and is very easy to listen. For my ears and brains this is music with passion and a touch of erotic soul.

I bought this CD on recommendation and am glad I did. The music is classic Indian, but the vocalist is great. Kiran Ahluwalia is a great new talent on the world music scene.
