The South Asian superstar, Bollywood icon, and judge of Indian Idol Kailash Kher moves “among styles without hesitation, adding elements of folk, reggae and rock to Indian pop,” according to The Wall Street Journal, which adds that he “has a voice as appealing as it is thrilling.” Kher is joined on this bill by Electro Morocco, which is comprised of five NYC-based Israelis and combines buzzing guitars with synths and beats to concoct a dance floor-friendly mix of retro rock, Middle Eastern folk and warped electro.
Pre-show dance lesson: Ambika Samarthya, Gobind Singh, Brighid O’Dea, and Alex Sirboiu — professional bhangra dancers based in New York City — stir up the audience with some of the classic moves from the North Indian Heartland. Bhangra has taken the world by storm and the troupe will introduce you to the styles and steps of one of the hottest music styles around.(Source)
Electro Morocco is presented with support from the Office of Cultural Affairs Consulate General of Israel in New York
