Ustad Noor Bakhsh + Jaubi — Barbican
Barbican Hall, London
South Asian live music belongs on the grandest stages in the world.
The Barbican Hall. One of the most prestigious concert stages in the world, and Dialled In programmed it. Ustad Noor Bakhsh — the 80-year-old benju master from Balochistan — headlining alongside Lahore's genre-defying Jaubi and North London's Amrit Kaur. Three generations, three geographies, one evening of deep listening that moved from Balochi folk to spiritual jazz to Punjabi soul. Easily one of the most exhilarating performances we've ever programmed.
