** PLEASE NOTE: This show will take place at our alternative home for the evening: ST PANCRAS OLD CHURCH, Pancras Road, Camden Town, London NW1 1UL. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8.15pm. **
Join interdisciplinary collective JAWARI at their exclusive ROAD RASA album launch. Directed by contemporary sitarist, Tommy Khosla, JAWARI have been working on their debut LP for the last two years. Inspired by contemporary, classical and folk traditions including Indian classical music, Cumbia and poetry, JAWARI present a unique embodiment of global jazz.
The launch at St Pancras Old Church will be the first time the LP is performed in its entirety with the full collective. Signed limited edition ROAD RASA vinyls will also be sold, fresh off the press from a 500 copy vinyl run. Beyond the music, this launch will feature an expo from ceramic artist Nehal Aamir, who designed the artwork for ROAD RASA. Nehal was recently featured on Front Row (BBC Radio 4) and exhibited at the National Festival of Making.
This is a unique opportunity to hear ROAD RASA in the intimate and beautiful setting of the Old Church, and to experience the JAWARI collective in full force.
