Sacred dhol, melancholic handpan.
Spun to lose the self in the rhythm. Dr. Sarah Farid fuses South Asian devotional Dhamal with the deep, physical weight of underground electronic music.
Lose the self in the rhythm of the Qalandar.
Every beat is a gateway. Every low-end frequency is a modern physical echo of ancient ecstatic trance, designed to dissolve boundaries.
