Parvathy Baul - HEARTSONG - ECSTATIC MUSIC AND DANCE.

Entrancing, ecstatic devotional music and dance from the Baul tradition of West Bengal India - exclusive SF must-see - May 18.

Join us for a celebration of divine love expressed through song, story, music and dance.

In this very special program, Parvathy Baul, the leading Sadhaka (practitioner) voice in the Baul tradition is joined by virtuoso saxophonist/composer George Brooks, renowned for his improvisational mastery and his deep understanding of Indian classical music. Together they will present a meditation in movement and sound, prayer and devotion, embodying a universality that transcends religious boundaries.

Parvathy Baul is a practitioner, performer and teacher of the Baul tradition from Bengal, India. She is also a multi-instrumentalist, dancer, storyteller and painter. She has performed in over forty countries, including such prestigious concert halls and music festivals as the Noh Theater in Kyoto, the World Music Center in New York City, Melbourne Arts Center and the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fez, Morocco.

Hailed as the “leading voice in Indian Jazz fusion” George Brooks has been a regular collaborator with well-known masters of Hindustani and Carnatic traditions such as Zakir Hussain, Sultan Khan, Shankar Mahadevan and L. Subramaniam, as well such distinctive artists as John McLaughlin, Terry Riley, and Larry Coryell.
