Riyaaz explores the folk songs, Sufi poetry, popular voices, and shared cultural memory that connect Punjabis across generations and across the India-Pakistan border.From Heer and Challa to Jugni and Ki Banu Duniya Da, the show moves fun and powerful songs through love, longing, faith, social commentary, and the idea of ishq (love), where human love can become divine love. A full group of artists, performs on their feet, bringing rhythm, folk energy, and the intensity of the poetry together on one stage.
• Music connected to Gurdas Maan, Arif Lohar, Kanwar Grewal, Satinder Sartaaj, the Nooran Sisters, Diljit Dosanjh & more great Punjabi artists
• At its heart: How do we bring the Punjabi homeland with us to Houston? Through poetry, melody, language, memory—and the songs we continue to sing.
