Like many other women in rural South Asia, Salma, a young Muslim girl in
India, was forced into seclusion once she reached puberty. Forbidden to
study and pushed into marriage, Salma, began covertly composing poems on
scraps of paper and was able to sneak them out of the house and into the
hands of a publisher. Against the odds, Salma became a famous poet. Her
extraordinary story is one of courage and resilience. Find out more
 

Discussion to follow with filmmaker Kim Longinotto.

Kiran Ahluwalia: At the center of Kiran Ahluwalia s music is love in all
its shades - yearning romantic love and sufi mysticism. She is a modern
exponent of the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan which she
honors intensely yet also departs from in assertive, personal ways. Her
original compositions and arrangements embody the spiritual essence of
ghazal, an ancient form of poetry about the unattainable . Accompanied
by traditional Indian percussion and contemporary Western instruments,
Ahluwalia's boundary-blurring songs invite us to explore the human
condition, transcending the self by losing ourselves in love.

Born in India, raised in Canada - Ahluwalia's latest CD, Aam Zameen:
Common Ground was recently awarded Kiran's second Canadian Grammy - the
prestigious JUNO Award. Her discography, now five albums deep is one of
global music's most interesting furrows. Her ease of manner on stage
makes her a unique and inspiring performer who's legion of fans
continues to grow with every captivating performance.

Kiran is accompanied by some of North America's most exciting artists;
Downbeat magazines's No. 2 Rising Star guitarist Rez Abbasi, hard
grooving tabla player Nitin Mitta, superbly melodic accordion player
Will Holshouser and the very funky bassist Mamadou Ba. Don't miss them
in New York city. 

"Ahluwalia is busy honing a transnational sound as fresh as tomorrow." -
Seattle Times 

"Her crystal clear voice arched superbly above rhythms that coursed
through the audience." - Los Angeles Times
