BFlat presents Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Cafe – timeless Sufi poetry of Kabir, in an acoustic folk and contemporary idiom without compromising its lyrical beauty.
Kabir was a timeless mystic who didn’t believe in boundaries. His words ring true even six centuries later, as they are woven into something that is just as boundless – music. A performance by Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Café, in a quest to make Kabir’s verses comprehensible to a world that they believe, is alienated from traditional Kabir folk music, presents the verses of Kabir with a sound that is a mix of influences that range from pop, reggae and rock, to folk fusion and Carnatic flavours. The band recently released their debut album ‘Panchrang –Musical Echoes of Kabir’, which has 12 of their most colourful renditions of Kabir. These songs will be performed live at The BFlat Bar.
Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Cafe features Neeraj Arya on vocals and rhythm guitars, Mukund Ramaswamy on violin, Raman Iyer on Mandolin, Viren Solanki on Percussions and Poubuanpou Britto KC on bass guitar.
