Kadahin Milandaasin
A Vinyl Listening Session
This was a BIC Elsewhere Event at Sabha.
Performer
Experience an unforgettable evening of music and memory with a special vinyl listening session of Kadahin Milandaasin, the acclaimed album by drummer and composer Tarun Balani. Called “a sonic love letter to Sindh” by The Hindu, this deeply personal work has been featured on NPR’s Best Jazz Albums and Bandcamp’s Best of Jazz.
Inspired by the life of Balani’s late grandfather, K.S. Balani, a renowned Sindhi writer and painter, the album explores themes of migration, ancestral memory, and identity. Through moving compositions and layered soundscapes, Kadahin Milandaasin becomes both a tribute and a journey home.
The evening includes a full vinyl playback of the album, followed by an intimate conversation with Tarun Balani himself. Join us for a rare chance to hear the stories behind the music: of love, loss, and legacy.
