Kiran Ahluwalia

Two-time Juno Award Winner Kiran Ahluwalia sings powerful protest songs rejecting injustice, graced with songs embracing joy. Born in India, raised in Canada, and currently dividing her time between New York City and Toronto, Ahluwalia has long been on a path to master the art of singing and composing. She has toured around the world, recorded eight albums, topped the North American & European World Music Charts and won multiple awards. Her songs have featured collaborations with legendary Malian group Tinariwen, Celtic fiddler Natalie MacMaster, and Algeria’s Souad Massi on her new album Comfort Food. Making modern Indian songs influenced by blues, rock, jazz and Punjabi folk, the Indian-born artist confronts virulent ethnic nationalism with songs about liberation, love and the common humanity we all share.
