The Alliance Française de Bombay, in collaboration with the Romanian Embassy in India, is thrilled to present a fascinating musical experience: Suflet – Soundscapes from the Carpathians and the Himalayas. Mark your calendars for Friday, April 5th, 2024, at 6:30 PM, and prepare to be transported by the mesmerising fusion of Romanian and Indian melodies.
This unique event brings together talented musicians from both cultures who will weave a tapestry of sound using the pan flute, bansuri, keyboard and tabla. Witness the soulful melodies of Romania intertwine with the rich musical heritage of India, creating a truly unforgettable performance.
The Heartbeat of Suflet
The title, "Suflet," holds a profound meaning. In Romanian, it translates to both "breath" and "soul," symbolising the very essence of music - its ability to resonate with our inner being and transcend cultural boundaries.
The talented artists behind Suflet are:
• Narcisa Băleanu: A captivating performer on the pan flute and vocals, known for her enchanting style.
• Bhaskar Das: A maestro of the bansuri, weaving magic with his arrangements for this special collaboration.
• Amit Mishra: A highly regarded tabla player, adding rhythmic depth and power to the performance.
• Azhar Warsi: Lending his expertise on the keyboard to further enrich the musical tapestry.
A Journey Across Continents
Suflet promises a captivating exploration of musical traditions. Witness the transformation of Romanian folklore through the masterful use of Indian instruments. From the soulful "doina" (Romanian folk song) to the energetic "dhun" (Indian instrumental composition), the concert celebrates cultural diversity and amalgamation. The program will showcase the vibrant "hora" (Romanian dance music) alongside the mesmerising "hori" (Indian folk song), culminating in a harmonious blend of "sârba" (Romanian folk dance) and raga (Indian musical framework).
