WIN: Vikram Hazra to play music for the soul

MUSIC guru, Vikram Hazra returns to Durban for one show only at DUT on Human Rights Day on Friday 21 March at 5pm.

Hazra is known internationally for his unique style of music, fusing ancient Sanskrit chants and secular wisdom with the sounds of the electric guitar to create a genre that transcends boundaries, uplifts the spirit and scintillates the audience.

He was last in the country in 2012, but is currently being hosted by The Art of Living Foundation – an international volunteer based humanitarian, educational NGO movement founded in 1981 by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar which is globally active in 152 countries.

Hazra doesn’t just play music; he opens up a doorway for his audiences to touch their own soul.

His concerts evoke strong reactions from diverse audiences across the globe.

Years of spiritual sadhana, (ego-transcending spiritual practice) along with uncompromising attention to tonal crafting and sound design, as well as the gift of an impeccable musical ear, have helped create Hazra’s unique sound.

From the simplest of Indian folk bhajans (Indian devotional song) to the compositions of Adi Shankaracharya; from Buddhists chants to African and African-American spirituals; from the philosophy of poet-saints like Kabeer, Meera, Raidas and Jaydev to contemporary blues and jazz, Hazra’s concerts seamlessly meld diverse styles into an organic whole.

For his Africa concerts, his band comprises: Vikram Hazra: vocals, flute, electric guitar, nylon-string guitar and guitar synthesizer; Shivraj “Mizo” Doss on guitar and Soumyajyoti Ghosh on flute.

The concert is at DUT’s Ritson Exam Hall, Gate 1 Winterton Walk. Tickets cost R150 each. To book, contact Amrika on 031 409 1442 or e-mail: durbanoffice@artofliving.org.za
