Imagine an evening in close communion with music and presence… A gentle Oud begins to play, the Tabla slowly joins, and words born of lived experience unfold into timeless ghazals.

As twilight descends upon the serene mud-and-bamboo village of Zorba the Buddha, you are invited to an intimate baithak dedicated to original ghazals, delicately interwoven with soul-stirring Middle Eastern compositions. Experience the rare and evocative voice of the Oud as it harmonises with the rhythmic depth of the Tabla and the subtle textures of the keyboard – creating a deeply immersive musical journey.
