Renowned sitar player Baluji Shrivastav OBE partners with virtuoso flamenco guitarist Ignacio Monteverde for a legendary performance with traditional flamenco by Lourdes Fernandez
Halesworth, Suffolk - On Friday, 15 November 2024, The Cut will host a special concert featuring the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Baluji Shrivastav OBE and guitarist, Ignacio Monteverde in a unique exploration of the connections between Indian classical music and flamenco. Immerse yourself in the evening, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, a curated selection of Spanish dishes will be available to complement the experience! Advance tickets are available for £15.
The concert will transcend the boundaries of geography and genre, tracing the fascinating connection between Indian classical music and flamenco. Romani travellers from Rajasthan are believed to have brought elements of Indian music to Spain, where it evolved and blossomed into the vibrant art form of flamenco. Baluji Shrivastav & Flamenco Interactions will showcase both traditions in their pure form before intertwining them in a display of musical mastery by two legendary performers.
"Flamenco Interactions" brings together masters of both traditions, with Baluji Shrivastav OBE on sitar joined by virtuoso flamenco guitarist Ignacio Monteverde. The performance will also feature traditional flamenco dance by Lourdes Fernandez and tabla accompaniment by Yousuf Ali Khan. Baluji's virtuosity on the sitar, combined with Ignacio's flamenco guitar and the percussive energy of the tabla, promises a tapestry of sound that goes beyond borders.
Baluji Shrivastav's story is one of remarkable resilience and unwavering passion for music. Born blind in Uttar Pradesh, India, Baluji began his musical journey at a young age, finding solace and expression through sound. Despite the challenges he faced, Baluji's dedication to music propelled him to achieve remarkable feats.
This concert will be more than just a performance; it's a unique opportunity to experience the magic that unfolds when cultures and musical traditions collide. Witness the captivating interplay between Baluji's sitar and Ignacio's flamenco guitar, as they weave a tapestry of sound that pushes boundaries and ignites the imagination. Be mesmerised by the rhythmic mastery of Yousuf Ali Khan on the tabla and the expressive grace of Lourdes Fernandez's flamenco dance. This unforgettable evening promises to transport you on a journey of musical discovery, leaving you with a renewed appreciation for the power of music to connect and inspire.
