Dylan & Pedraum's Folk Ensemble + Gamini Khurana

Musicians Dylan Sluiter and Pedraum Agahi present a newly formed ensemble performing at @hydeparkbookclub on Saturday 20th July, combining a jazz combo with traditional Iranian instruments. Aiming to bridge cultural divides, the ensemble performs a mix of iconic folk songs from across the Middle East, along with original compositions and arrangements inspired by both Western and Eastern influences.

Supporting them will be Gamini Khurana (she/her), a 23 year old, Indian singer-songwriter/musician currently based in Leeds. A free-flowing artist who writes songs that feel true to her, she bares her soul through the music she creates.

With a fusion of influences ranging from Joni Mitchell to Noah Kahan and Indian folk music, Gamini invites her listeners to explore the depths of emotion and the universality of her lived experiences, creating an intimate and introspective musical experience.
