Karavan Sarai: Eastern Mystic Melodies, Electronic Grooves & Dance

August 24, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$20 – $25

Karavan Sarai returns to the Red Poppy to perform original and traditional electro-acoustic music of the Silk Road interwoven with ambient contemporary electronica. With the gracious power of belly dance to the colorful dances of the Indian gypsies, one is transported on a visual and sonic journey.
 
FEATURING:
Narayan Sijan – vocals, electric oud, electric saz, programming
Schirin Chams-Diba – dance, backup vocals, percussion
 
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Karavan Sarai’s 2018 album, Painted Sands, was in the World Music Charts Top Ten for ten weeks, peaking at number four. The group’s debut album, Woven Landscapes (2015), was in the Top Ten charts for six weeks, peaking at number six. Composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Narayan Sijan lived on the Silk Road from 1994-2006, learning music from mystics, masters, and locals. He creates an innovative alchemy of music, storytelling, and beauty in his album collaborations with two-time Grammy nominee, producer, and programmer Carmen Rizzo. Schirin Chams-Diba performs a visual feast of sacred temple and traditional dances of the Silk Road, invoking elegant dances of her native Persian lands to the magic of belly dance and the colorful gypsies of India.
