Bobby Singh and Friends

ARIA Award-winning tabla virtuoso Bobby Singh is coming to Sydney to promote his extraordinary new album Sutradhaar - a deeply collaborative and cross-cultural musical journey featuring some of Australia’s finest musicians and composed by his guru, Dr Aneesh Pradhan. Meaning ‘string-holder’ or ‘narrator’ in Sanskrit, Sutradhaar’s compositions were written by Dr Aneesh Pradhan and arranged Sydney-based jazz icon, Sandy Evans, before being recorded and woven together into a rich, genre-defying suite of music by a family of extraordinary musicians including Jeff Lang, Greg Sheehan, Lara Goodridge, Shenzo Gregorio, Ben Walsh, Zela Margossian and Tjupurru. The result is an album that transcends genre and geography, bridging Indian classical traditions, jazz, and blues, grounded by the deep resonance of Australian soil through the inclusion of the didgeribone.
