About the event

Live @ LOW END | ganavya
Described by the Wall Street Journal as “among modern music’s most compelling vocalists,” New York- born, Tamil Nadu-raised singer and transdisciplinarian GANAVYA released an ambitious new album, Daughter of a Temple, on November 15, 2024. Released by Nils Frahm’s label, LEITER, on vinyl and via all digital platforms, it follows her appearance at SAULT’s 2023 live debut in London where The Guardian wrote her “voice had a delicate emotive heft that could turn stoics into sobbing wrecks.” Her first single for the label, draw something beautiful, appeared in July 2024.

Daughter of a Temple was recorded over a week in 2022 at the Moore’s Opera House in Houston, Texas, after GANAVYA had reached out to friends and associates over the preceding months to join her for “a gathering in and for devotion.” This was to draw on studies of what she terms the musico-philosophies of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, and she’d even promised herself she’d invite anyone who brought up Turiyasangitananda’s name around her. “You really shouldn’t do that,” she chuckles. “It turns out a lot of people talk about her!”

Consequently, the album—which also brings the Hindu tradition of harikatha into the 21st century—draws upon a vast cast of contributors across multiple disciplines, among them esperanza spalding, Vijay Iyer, Shabaka Hutchings, Immanuel Wilkins, Peter Sellars, Rajna Swaminathan, Charlotte Braithwaite, Chris Sholar, Darian Donovan Thomas, and Bindhumalini Narayanswamy. Her mother even helped cook for participants. The results, an innovative and deeply moving blend of spiritual jazz and South Asian devotional music, were initially recorded and edited by Ryan Renteria, then further edited and mixed by Nils Frahm at LEITER’s Funkhaus studio in 2024.

Admission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged.
