CD Description
Award winning artist Kiran Ahluwalia collaborates with legendary Malian desert blues band Tinariwen and famed UK producer Justin Adams on her new album- 'aam zameen: common ground'. "She has a voice destined to enchant more than one generation". fRoots "Ahluwalia's voice is caressing and seductive and her arrangements are magnificant". Songlines Kiran Ahluwalia's new album is an inspiring step forward in the evolution of an artist who, while firmly rooted in Indian music, is continually embracing sounds and influences from around the world. Kiran- a multi award winning artist including a JUNO and a Songlines/WOMAD Award, has embraced her love of Saharan desert blues and collaborated with two Tuareg groups, the legendary Tinariwen and the up-and-coming group of fellow tribesmen, Terakaft. Having spent almost three years incubating and developing the concept, the tipping point came when Ahluwalia met famed Robert Plant and Tinariwen producer, Justin Adams while on tour in Europe in 2009. Adams was immediately interested in the project and soon Kiran and Tinariwen's leader Ibrahim Ag Alhabib were making plans for the first session. The album also features award-winning Ghanian ritti player, Juldeh Camara and cutting-edge New York jazz guitarist. Rez Abbasi. By any measure, 'aam zameen:common ground', is a remarkable document of the life-changing musical journey Ahluwalia has travelled in the last few years.

My current favorite CD
21 May 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just received Aam Aameen a few weeks ago and have listened to it over and over. I love the beautiful melodies that are sung with much delicacy and passion by Kiran Ahluwalia as well as the rhythms. I really enjoy the syncopated clapping and percussion. There is not one track on this CD that I do not like. I particularly enjoy the two tracks in which Kiran Ahluwalia wrote both the lyrics and the music, wish she would do that more. She is a wonderful musical artist and her husband Rez Assazi very much creates "a sound" with his guitar playing.

Went to see her live in Chicago several years back. Beautiful voice and great arrangements. This is her best work yet in my view.
Exciting Collaboration

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Kiran Ahluwalia brings us another wonderful CD and though her voice shines through in exquisite beauty note for note, it doesn't end there. The collaboration with some of the most talented musicians in world music turns this gem into a work of art. This CD, or any of Kiran Ahluwalia's, is well worth some of your hard earned cash. The complexity of the music will undoubtably keep you listening to it for decades. Definitely a keeper!
