About the event

Qais Essar & Sonny Singh: SANGAT in Washington, DC

Afghan American rabab virtuoso Qais Essar has joined forces with Sikh American trumpet player and singer Sonny Singh in a new project that obliterates musical, political, and religious boundaries.

Weaving together the ancient sound and haunting melodies of the rabab, a 2,500 year-old instrument from Afghanistan, with bold trumpet lines and anthemic Punjabi vocals, Qais and Sonny ground their music in ancestral wisdom and usher us into the future with their uplifting new sound. Drawing inspiration from hundreds of years old mystical poetry from the Sikh, Sufi, and radical bhakti traditions, their music centers oneness and connection in times of increasing division and hierarchy.

Join us for this live debut of their new project!

Qais Essar - rabab
Sonny Singh - vocals, trumpet, harmonium

Produced by Electric Cowbell and co-sponsored by India House Foundation
