Review
A true woman of the world, Ahluwalia was born in India and grew up in Toronto, Canada and her musical choices reflect her personal dichotomy. She is a well-trained exponent of an ancient style of romantic song known as ghazal, which began in Persia (now Iran) at least a millennium ago before spreading to India. She performs classic folkloric material but has also found important collaborators in her own backyard, Canadian-based poets of South Asian ancestry whose erotic lyrics dovetail seamlessly into her songs. Musically, she hones in on her heritage with drones, chimes and traditional drumming. But these are modernized with splashy guitars, earthy bass lines, and swirling, syncopated riffs from the great Natalie MacMaster , who sounds for all the world like a Cape Breton Celtic fiddler playing ghazals - exquisitely. Cross-cultural experiments aside, it is the singer who at once grounds the project and launches it into another dimension. Her honeyed, sensuous and resonantly nasal voice recalls the great dames of Bollywood and honors centuries of anonymous ghazal interpreters, whose legacy is resurrected and glorified in this graceful, fearless young artist. --Christina Roden
