ROOPA PANESAR: ATMA (THE SOUL)

Love, loss, grief, separation and the bliss of union – all are powerfully represented in ATMA (The Soul), first released as an album in 2023 and now performed live. A musical journey that portrays all aspects of life, it is a rich musical meeting between the worlds of Indian classical and jazz, in which sitar and tabla beautifully weave and interchange with double bass, guitar and electronics.

“One of the most important musicians to have emerged in the British Asian diaspora over the past few years.”
