Experience timeless poetry reimagined through powerful vocals, rich traditions, and a soundscape that speaks to the heart – brought to life by the versatile vocalist Himali Vyas Naik.
When music becomes a doorway to emotion, memory, and meaning, something extraordinary unfolds on stage. ‘Alakh’ draws from centuries of devotional and poetic heritage, reimagining the verses of mystic saints and poets like Meera, Kabir, Tulsidas, and Narsinh Mehta. The performance blends Hindustani raagas with the rhythmic vitality of Garba, Raas, Sufi, Baul, and Abhang – creating music that defies categorisation. This fusion of timeless poetry and modern expression comes together in a seamless, soul-stirring flow, where each piece finds its place not only for its lyrical beauty but for its power to awaken rasa – the essence of emotion – in its truest form.
Bringing this vision to life is Himali Vyas Naik – a singer, songwriter, and playback artist whose style celebrates classical depth with bold musical exploration. Trained in both Indian and Western traditions, her work spans continents, styles, and languages. From acclaimed film tracks to boundary-pushing originals like Ave Maria and Waiting, her voice shifts effortlessly between the sacred and the contemporary, between tradition and innovation – creating moments that resonate far beyond the stage.
