Keeping it Real with Kiran Ahluwalia: a MyBindi Exclusive Interview

Kiran Ahluwalia is a young, Juno-award winning, rising international star who is dedicated to modernizing the ghazal genre – the sensual and highly literary poetry about unrequited love and passion for all things.  Ghazal started in Persia around the 10^th century and traveled to India in the 1300s.  Over time the musical style, compositions and the way in which ghazals are sung have changed - and are continually changing. Kiran’s mission is to master singing and composing this language of the heart. Her favourite instrument is the voice followed by Sarangi but her current fresh passion is African Tuareg electric guitar.

From India to Canada to New York, Kiran Ahluwalia gives MyBindi.com’s Ashna Regina Singh insight on her journey to success.

Q.  Most South Asian artists are pressured to stay within popular culture. How have you managed to resist this and contribute to the evolution of the ghazal genre?

Like everyone else, I listen to a lot of different types of music. When I was young, my parents took me to concerts of all sorts of Indian music - folk, bhangra, bollywood, Indian classical and ghazal. Somehow the effect of a ghazal concert would linger with me for days - much longer than any other music and so I was naturally drawn to this style.

Q. You used to listen to Indian music on a reel-to-reel tape machine that your father purchased from Hong Kong, and Bollywood on the radio.  Since then, how have the advancements in technology influenced\shaped your current career?

In terms of discovering music, I discover music on the internet all the time.  In terms of my own career...it is much easier to reach the audience with Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Twitter.  It’s great to be able to chat with someone who has purchased your CD and they want to share their thoughts on it.  For me, Facebook is the social networking site I use the most.

Q. What can fans expect from your new album "Aam Zameen - Comon Ground" with producer Justin Adams, which will feature collaborations with Malian super group Tinariwen? 

I’m so psyched about this CD.  It was absolute pure fun recording this music.  The adrenaline took months to wear off and now I’m really looking forward to singing these songs on the Canadian tour.  This CD is a significant departure from my previous ones.  For the first time I started writing my own lyrics.  This was something I hadn’t really done outside of my dear diary entries which were meant only to be repeated as a symbol of sorority with a close friend.  So imagine my surprise at my own words, coming out of my own pen. 

I can’t call these songs ghazals because they don’t have the same poetic structure -- they are simply songs that allowed me to incorporate the hypnotic Tuareg grooves that I had fallen in love with.  When you take two styles of music and merge them together - and you don’t want a simple cut and paste - then you’re really trying to develop a hybrid genre.  You’re doing something with no clear blueprints to help you. You have to figure it out by trying different things and seeing what works and what doesn’t.  It’s scary and sometimes stressful, but it’s also incredibly invigorating when you find those connections between things that didn’t seem to connect before. Those moments of discovery are nothing short of sublime.  It’s really the essence of everything for me, musically.

Q. How do you prepare yourself before a performance?

Mostly - stretch – I do some yoga.  For my kind of music, I need good lung capacity so I try to rest but sometimes when we are traveling in beautiful places it’s very tempting. So I do go outside and see the city or the village and make sure I get back to the hotel to rest before sound check.

Q. On January 22 you will grace Koerner Hall  in Toronto with the sounds of India. How do you feel about performing with the band Rhythm of Rajasthan?

I love that I’m performing with Rhythm of Rajasthan.  It’s a great idea that I did the CD with musicians from the African desert, the Sahara. On the Canadian tour I will be doing some of the songs with musicians from the Indian desert. 

Q. Despite having an MBA from Dalhousie University, working in the financial sector did not fulfill you. Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in music?

I fell into my career in music. There was no one time where I sat down and said to myself, “This is it! I am now going to pursue a career in music.” I just kept doing music alongside everything else - alongside university and then eventually alongside work.  I would take a lot of year-long breaks to go to India to study music; it was a very serious passion but I never thought it would be a career.  Then when I recorded my first CD in 2000, I ended up getting the attention of a manager and agent. From then on I started touring and thank God it hasn’t stopped.

Q. You have managed to conceal your personal life from the limelight. Can you give us some insight on your relationship with Rez Abbasi.  It’s obvious both of you are very busy individuals so how do you balance your career and family life?

Rez and I work a lot together.  He is definitely all over my projects.  He started arranging and producing my songs and being my guitar player in 2004.  As a jazz guitarist, he himself has many groups, and I am in one of them.  For the first three years of our married life - between his tours and mine - we were never home for more than two weeks at a time.  But we were together all the time; he was in my group and vice versa so we were constantly touring together.  Touring is hard and it was easier to be on road with Rez right there all the time.  This year, I made a conscious decision to not tour so much.  Rez has been touring a lot but I really enjoyed dedicating myself to making the album and to other things - learning French, hanging with friends, cooking up fusion dishes. I took a Mexican cooking course and developed an obsession with Pilates.

When we work together, we definitely have disagreements but for the most part we’re able to either resolve them or just plain get over them.  The way we each think about music is actually quite different from one another but we learn from each other as well.  I’m lucky that I’m friends with all my band mates and I think our camaraderie shows on stage. 

­____________________________________________________________________________

Kiran Ahluwalia is free-spirited like the wind which is expressed through her music. She says home is transient as she flip-flops between India and Canada but embraces both cultures. Her fast-gained reputation, down-to-earth personality, and enthralling voice make her a role-model for aspiring South Asian artists.

Kiran’s new album “Aam Zameen - Common ground” will release January 4, 2011. Fans can expect sounds of African Tuareg grooves while Kiran draws from the wellspring of her own musical language.

See Kiran perform live with the Rhythm of Rajasthan at Koerner Hall in Toronto on January 22, 2011.

Zameer on the Official Ballot for the 2011 Grammy Awards

The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences has placed Zameer on the Official Ballot for the 2011 Grammy Awards in the category, Best Short Form Music Video for Zameer’s With You, Produced by Cherie Sinclair at the Field.

Zameer digitally released three new albums on October 31st with  the first release Under the Bleachers, shortly followed by Zameer-Live in Los Angeles and Saath (Hindi). A truly talented artist who performs both in English and Hindi, Zameer has consistently shown fine songwriting talent and performance skills. His music is a stirring blend of pop rock influenced by his South Asian heritage and the sounds give glimpses of his travels, having being raised all over the world, moving between Libya and Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and England, and finally immigrating to Canada.

Zameer's influences range from bands like Wham and N'Sync, Metallica and Alice In Chains, all the way to Eric Clapton and Sting. So a strong melody became his forte. Drawn to music at a very early age, Zameer has always tried to make the most of his love for melody. Zameer spent eight months studying the mathematical ingredients of some of this era's hit music. His research paper, titled 'Auditory Scene Analysis of 20th Century Popular Music' was published by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Western Ontario.

Under the Bleachers, was produced by five-time Grammy Award winning producer Steve Thompson (Madonna, GNR). The album's lead single, Win or Defeat, was licensed by the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics to promote their athletes. Win or Defeat was produced in partnership with the Paralympics Committee and showcases Paralympics gold-medalists.  The video was in rotation on Much Music and MTV Asia and co-starred gold medalist Paralympics Sledge Hockey Player Bradley Bowden. Proceeds from the sales of Zameer’s single Win or Defeat, and album From Under the Bleachers, supported the Canadian Paralympics Foundation.

Having toured Canada, USA, Pakistan, Norway and the Bahamas, Zameer’s unique musical style led to performances along-side John Mayer, and he was voted amongst top 10 live performers by Emergenza, the world’s biggest live band festival.  Zameer was nominated for best independent artist at the Toronto Independent Music awards and he showcased his craft during Canadian Music Week held in Toronto, ON.  Zameer met with uber-producer David Foster and asked to re-record David’s 1986 song Glory of Love which is now on From Under the Bleachers.

Exclusive Interview with Delhi 2 Dublin

Soon after the release of their hit album, Planet Electric, Delhi 2 Dublin announced their first coast to coast tour in Canada. The band performed their initial line-up of concerts to British Columbian fans and will soon electrify the GTA. The Vancouver-based group is a cultural blend of five individuals - Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran, Kytami, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning – who create mash-ups by incorporating sounds from Bhangra to Celtic to Dub Reggae.  In less than five years, Delhi 2 Dublin has played in major festivals, including Bumbershoot in Seattle and Earthdance in California, and events such as the Vancouver Olympics, and was the recipient of the Ottawa Folk Festival Super Nova award.

MyBindi.com’s Ashna Regina Singh speaks with South Asian band members, Sanjay Seran & Tarun Nayar, for some insight on Delhi 2 Dublin.

Q. Movember is a charitable initiative to raise money for prostate cancer research. What inspired Delhi 2 Dublin to jump on board this campaign?

Tarun Nayar: I found out about Movember a few years ago. I thought it was the coolest thing because it took such a hilarious and fun approach to raising awareness and funds for something important. Giving to charity means a lot to me, and to the rest of the gang in the band, and to do it in a way that is also fun is a bonus. These days it seems everyone's family has been touched by cancer, and D2D is no different. We have all lost family members to the disease, and this is a way for us to give a little and try to make a difference.

Q. The band consists of an array of instruments. Tarun on Tabla & Electronics; Kytami on fiddle; and Sanjay on Vox.  What made you choose the instruments you have now?

Sanjay Seran: I have always loved singing for as long as I can remember. I actually even made time for choir and vocal jazz between my busy basketball schedule during high school. Then in university, I started playing dhol and about 4 years later the opportunity to sing presented itself and together with a buddy of mine, we started our first band.

Q. Does the band have a fixed set that it plays or do you vary the set based on the audience/demographic?

Sanjay Seran: We have a fixed flow that we like to work with and in order to keep that flow working we use certain tracks during certain parts of the set. The order we do things does change sometimes based on how much time we have, what kind of sound system we are playing on (some of our tracks just don't work when we don't have enough bass) and how we are feeling. We also try to keep things fresh by changing bits here and there either by bringing in new material we are working on, or playing old tracks we haven't done for a while.

Q. Your Canadian tour demands 27 shows in 32 days and Torontonians will see the band perform on Nov. 20 at the MOD Club. How do you/the band manage being away from home/family/friends for more than a month?

Tarun Nayar: Skype! And expensive cell phone bills...We all have loved ones that we leave behind and that's one of the biggest challenges of being on the road. I think that doing what we love makes up for it because when we're home, we're happy, and can be really present with our loved ones. But it doesn't make the being away any easier!

Q. When you’re not producing music together as a group, what solo projects are the band members currently pursuing?

Tarun Nayar: We all have little side projects that we're working on, but D2D takes up so much time, that they kind of  just stay on the side. Ky (Kytami) is in a couple of bands, does studio work, and is working on a solo CD. T (Tarun) does a lot of composing for movies and art projects, DJs with Beats Without Borders, and has just finished a solo CD. Andrew is on a mission to test all the noodle soup shops in Vancouver. Ravi plays with the well known Punjabi act, En Karma. And Sanj (Sanjay) builds bikes, does studio work, and spends his downtime organizing the D2D uptime!

Q. According to your site, “Delhi 2 Dublin are road warriors.” How do you relax when you’re not “working?”

Sanjay Seran: Relaxing? Wow that sounds like something I would love to do! In the winter, when we force ourselves to take some time off; I like to snowboard as much as I can. I can usually get up about three or four times a week. And when the weather is better (if we are even home) I love to boot around Vancouver on my single speed bike that I built earlier this year.

Q. More and more bands are now offering free downloads of their music either via myspace or through mobile apps. How are you engaging your fans with new media?

Tarun Nayar: We spend a lot of time tweeting and, on Facebook. It's amazing how we can interact with our fans like that - so immediate! People will come to the show, say hi, then post to our FB page as soon as they leave. We'll post back, and a new relationship has been made. Music is all about the relationship between us and our fans and we always have that in mind. We also work with our management to keep things interesting - free giveaways, prizes and contests...

Q. Aside from music, how has the band been influenced by the cultures it represents?

Tarun Nayar: I think we're all a product of our respective cultures in a very deep way. We can try to pretend we're not, but we are. We didn’t have a choice about the language we spoke, the music we listened to, the food we ate, and the way we related to other people as we grew up. D2D isn't about trying to represent culture in any authentic way. It's about us bringing our experiences to the table, finding common ground, and exploring that common ground together.

Q. Who would the band like to collaborate with on future albums?

Tarun Nayar:  Rick Rubin, producer extraordinaire; Manu Chao and Gogol Bordello, globalista rock stars; Guns n Roses (but the 80s version of the band); Jazzy B, because cause Ravi loves him; and Zamphir for Andrew.

Party Bollywood Style: Exclusive Interview with the Merchants of Bollywood

They are here to rock you off your feet. The Merchants of Bollywood are all set to take Toronto by storm. Typical of the song and dance that is your Hindi film, the musical is a grand extravaganza of glittering jewelry, kaleidoscopic costumes, rambunctious energy and slick choreography that is designed to have people hooting in the aisles.

Leading the charge is talented dancer and unabashed Bollywood song-and-dance junkie, Carol Furtado who plays Ayesha Merchant, a girl who rebels against the traditional norms of her family to make her mark in the world of dance. The story is based on the famed Merchant family of Mumbai, which has given the Hindi film industry two stars in the form of choreographer du jour, Vaibhavi Merchant and her father, dance guru of yore, Hiralal Merchant. And keeping step is Vaibhavi’s younger sister, Shruti Merchant who is the assistant choreographer of the show.

Making their great Canadian debut, Shruti Merchant and Carol Furtado were visibly thrilled to be in Toronto.

MyBindi.com's Baisakhi Roy caught up with the ladies at rehearsals in the Sony Center for the Performing Arts.

Carol Furtado, Lead actress:

Q. Carol, you have toured Europe and Asia and had more than 800 performances as Ayesha. How do you motivate yourself?

 I do it for the audience. The adulation that we receive after and during each song sequence is unbelievable. We, as a group have performed this routine numerous times but the audience is seeing it for the first time. That is our motivation; to give them their money’s worth.

Q: What has been the response of both the South Asian and non-South Asian community to this musical?

The NRIs are simply grateful that we bring India to them in all her colour and flavour. I suppose they really miss home and want to be in the moment. The non-South Asian community is just bowled over by the energy and rhythms of the routine. There are non-English speaking people in countries we have toured who dance in their seats during the performance.

Q: Who was your best crowd?

Hands down, The Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in the US. All the cadets who seemed so serious and immaculate in their appearance were up on their feet singing with us though they did not know what the words meant!

Q: What are your future plans? Will you be heading to Bollywood and acting?

I don’t want to say that I don’t want to act. But I am really enjoying this experience. I am an important part of this major production and it has taken my career to unexpected heights. The tour has been amazing. We are going to perform in Tahiti among other places in Europe and Asia. So I am enjoying the moment and my success. Let the future unravel. For now I love being Ayesha Merchant.

Shruti Merchant: Assistant choreographer

Q: It’s been 5 years and the show is still a hit. Does that surprise you?

Not at all. People love Bollywood, the songs, the dance and all the drama that comes with it. People love this show. In fact it’s so popular that for our forthcoming performance in France, we actually have been asked to do some of the dialogue in French and we are! People really want to get into it!

Q: Bollywood is very westernized now. The beats and the dance steps are from different styles like street, hip-hop, etc. Have you incorporated these styles in this show?

We have done both Indian folk and Western styles justice. The story evolves continuously; we have shown how the music and the dance have changed over the years, so we have the garba (from Gujarat), the ghoomar (from Rajasthan) as well as a number called “It’s the time to Disco” as the finale. Our foundation is traditional but over the years we have adopted and amalgamated different styles. That is the flavour of Bollywood!

Q: Are you an aspiring Bollywood choreographer like Vaibhavi?

Not at all. My first love is musicals. The Merchants of Bollywood and other projects like it is what I want to do. My father and sister are huge names in Bollywood choreography and I sort of fell into it. I love dance and music, but I wouldn’t like to do it for films. Theatre is more electrifying especially since I get to present my work to a live audience. Their spontaneous reaction is what thrills me.

The Merchants of Bollywood theatrical runs from Nov. 4th to Nov. 14th, 2010 at the Sony Centre for Performing Arts in Downtown Toronto.

All night classical concerts are part of the Indian classical music tradition.

For centuries, Indian pundits and ustads have enthralled their audiences with breath-taking renditions of the various ragas that are dedicated to different times of the day. Now, Chhandayan, a not-for-profit organization is bringing this centuries-old tradition to Toronto.

Chhandayan was started in Calcutta, India, in 1984, and in 1988, started operations in the U.S. Samir Chatterjee is the Founder-Director of CHHANDAYAN, an organization dedicated to promoting and preserving Indian music and culture. Samir has been teaching for the last 35 years and many of his students are established performers.

Sunidhi and Chang Herald Diwali Season with a Bang

 This year’s most spectacular show LIGHT UP TORONTO with SUNIDHI certainly lived up to its promise of a mesmerizing night. Music, Masti and Magnificence were in complete unison to create the much needed sparkle of this Diwali Season.

Presented by Harpreet Sethi’s Grand Victorian Convention Centre and Radisson Plaza Hotel Mississauga and organized by Black Diamond Entertainments, the concert held at Sony Centre for the Performing Arts was completely sold out and was attended by 3000+ audience.

Bollywood Playback Queen, Sunidhi Chauhan enthralled the audience with her spell bounding singing and power-packed performance. Whether singing the urbane “Desi Girl” or the electrifying “Beedi”, Chauhan’s unstoppable energy ruled the stage and had the crowd grooving. Indian Idol Star and Actor, Meiyang Chang was a complete surprise of the night and marked his presence with a fresh and mellifluous voice.

M.C and stand up comedian, Ravi Raj and the Voice of Mohammed Rafi, Ayub Patel added flair to this stunning consortium of stars. Astounding choreography by Shiamak Davar Dance Company matched the beat and took the show to the next level. The phenomenal response from the enthusiastic crowd clearly made it an unforgettable show in the history of South Asian concerts in Toronto.

The lavish stage gleamed with grandeur and has raised the bar much high for South Asian events in the city. Well coordinated Indoor fireworks and Laser Show dazzled the stage along with extra-special effects. Chauhan wrapped up the show by handing the keys of brand new 2011 Mazda 2 to one lucky winner as a Diwali gift from Yorkdale Dufferin Mazda, in association with Grand Victorian Convention Centre.

With the success of Light Up Toronto, Harpreet Sethi and Black Diamond Entertainments have added another feather to their cap. But, the journey has only begun.
