SECRET PLANET // Qais Essar & Sonny Singh: SANGAT

  • MANNY'S LIVE PERFORMANCE SPACE 101 Hiester Street State College, PA, 16801 United States (map)


TICKETS

Afghan American rabab virtuoso Qais Essar joins forces with Sikh American trumpet player and singer Sonny Singh in a new project that obliterates musical, political, and religious boundaries.  (They will be performing as a trio with Tabla)

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.

DJ Josh Ferko plays records from around the world starting at 7PM
