The Guest Performer,

Genre: electronic sitar and roots music

Dawoud on electric sitar will be joined by Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi (saxophone) and Ravish Momin (percussion / laptop). This is the second time Dawoud is playing in this format. Dawoud’s approach to music is very ecletic and pluralistic. He plays the sitar in a tradtional and at the same time in a contemporary way: the raga of today.
