Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to the Ruby Lounge. ❤️An underground hangout space in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, with a new east meets west music fusion project this Spring, taking audiences on an exotic soundscape journey from Shimla in northern India to Dingle in west Kerry. And many locations in between! 🍛☕🎭🔥
Together we co-create a welcoming space for gentle connection. We invite you to feel the warmth of community as we gather for an evening that includes traditional homemade tapas & chai, a platform for creative expression and a place to hang out in town.
✨😌✌🌹
Introducing 'Indo-Celtic Fusion' Featuring award winning artists Basant Madhur (tablas), Hanna Wiskari (Saxophone), Sargam Madhur (Sitar) and Jon Sanders (Mandola), these musicians have worked in various music projects over many years, including most recently the Shades of Shakti concerts and Arts on Tour’s India meets Ireland shows and Across the great divide, Featuring Hanna Wiskari.
“There is real joy in dipping into the well of musical tradition and then blending it with contemporary composition. It is at the very heart of music fusion”, explains Jon.
The Quartet have long been involved in music and film soundtrack composition, performance and community work in both halves of the world, but this represents a new combination of instruments for them. The Quartet will weave together ragas and reels, Indian and Irish vocal cameos and self-penned anthems bringing a unique and mesmerising experience to Ruby Lounge.
