AMARRASS RECORDS 

11 MAR 2022 (SAT) at SUNDER NURSERY in NEW DELHI, INDIA

Amarrass Records and Amarrass Society for Performing Arts are back with the next show of the season and the 3rd show of 2023 - Amarrass Nights @ Sunder Nursery, 11 Mar 2023.
We are thrilled to invite you to an evening of transportive music in the aptly named Sunder Nursery.
 

Featuring:
Ravana
{: a 'mirage' as a metaphor / allure } Producer, DJ and sampling agent based in New Delhi, Shravan a.k.a Ravana, re-emerging and re-inventing his moniker via an eclectic collage of Spoken Word/Drum N Bass/Jungle/Break-core/Dub. His new songs are raw, gritty and with thought provoking form that gradually invite the listener into a borderless experience. The perverse use of retroactive speeches, voices and old Bollywood songs, over a smokey canvas of sampled sounds and relentless hard quantized beats chuffed with dubby bass-lines and psychedelic washouts.
 

Radio Baghdad

The Trio performs pieces from the vast repertoire of Iraqi music - a journey back to the roots of the trio’s singer - Aviv Badri - who was exposed to this music early as a child through his family and eventually started studying the music and poetry of his Iraqi roots. Yaniv and Johanna were exposed to the world of Iraqi Maqam through their encounter with a generation of great Iraqi musicians who migrated to Israel in the 1950’s.

HimaliMou

'Pahaadi' or mountain folk music, from Haldwani in Uttarakhand, presented by members of the group Rehmat-e-Nusrat. Rarely heard outside the mountains, the band will showcase several different styles of music from the region, including Jhora, Chanchari, Chapeli, Nyoli and Chaiti (with the first three being dance forms with accompanying music...and yes, YOU CAN DANCE!).

Traditionally the music is performed to dance at important ceremonies, festivals and gatherings, with songs in Kumaoni, Garhwali, Nepali and Jaunfari. The sonorous melodies of the Bansuri (bamboo flute), rhythmic pulses of the Dholak, hand drums, claps and joyous shouts of exuberance from the singers infuse the performances with verve and raw energy. 

Their debut performance was at Jaipur Literature Festival 2021.

Amarrass Nights is back in 2020! After a long hiatus, we are thrilled to announce that we have a new, beautiful venue to host our monthly series of music, arts and culture events in the capital. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Sunder Nursery is a 16th century heritage park - Delhi's first arboretum - restored and renovated by the Archeological Society of India and the Aga Khan Foundation. Our first concert of the year is made even more special with the introduction of two new artist groups to the Amarrass Records roster: brothers Ghewar & Firoze and the next generation of qawwali singers Rehmat-e-Nusrat. 

Ghewar & Firoze, sons of the late Padma Shri Sakar Khan, are masters of the kamaicha and the dholak respectively. Accomplished musicians and members of the Grammy Artist Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's Desert Slide Project, the brothers have a long history of performing at some of the most important stages across the world, including at Jodhpur's RIFF, Fez Festival in Morocco and more. They also feature on the album 'At Home: Sakar Khan' (5 Stars, 'Top of the World' - Songlines).

​

Rehmat-e-Nusrat are a sextet of young musicians from Uttarakhand bringing a fresh new perspective to the timeless tradition of qawwali music. The group presents qawwalis by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sufiyana kalaams by the great poets Amir Khusrao, Meera Bai, Baba Bulleh Shah, Kabir bhajans, and original compositions.
