Faithfully Yours: A Musical Odyssey
The Rajkumari Cultural Center, the Kalavant Center and Shri Anup Jalota are proud to present Roop and Mala Balkaran in a splendid concert on Saturday, July 10, 2004 at 7:30 p.m,. to launch their new album, Faithfully Yours. The concert welcomes and celebrates their return to New York after five years study at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya in Ahmedabad, India, one of India's leading educational institutions in musicology.
The foremost Indo-Caribbean singing artists in the field of north Indian classical music, they attributed their success to determination, and the dynamic Tabla Maestro, Ustad Kadar Khan, who nurtured them into the sadhana (discipline) of humility, devotion and dedication associated with the transmission of India's fine arts from guru (teacher) to chela (student). Kadar Khan will leads the Kalavant Music Ensemble in concert - Gulam M. Khan (harmonium), Ayub Khan (Tabla), Imran Khan (Tabla), Javed Khan (sitar) - all ustads and prodigies of north Indian music.
Pritha Singh, playwright/dramatist, and director of the Rajkumari Center, will perform excerpts of her definitive work, Women of the Mahabarata. The Balkarans's association with Rajkumari began in 1995 with The Sound of Her Bells, the center's inaugural event at the Queens Theater in the Park. The bond has remained since. Together they share their art and knowledge, and serve as an inspiration to the Indo-Caribbean community and the broader American public.
Shri Anup Jalota's auspicious support to Roop and Mala, in this exciting and challenging new beginning, is testament of their high standard of artistic excellence. His collaboration with the Rajkumari and Kalavant Centers creates a bridge of understanding and appreciation of between the Indian and Indo-Caribbean artistic communities both in India and the United States.
