It’s been a busy and exciting spring!
Last week, I was invited to perform my song Chardi Kala at the White House Forum on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in Washington, DC. It was truly an honor to share the stage with the likes of Rupi Kaur, MILCK, Keilana, and VP Kamala Harris herself. And of course we had to bring a little Punjabi hype with a dhol procession later in the day. You can watch my performance, accompanied by Utsav Lal and Tomas Fujiwara here on the White House YouTube Channel. We start at the 6 minute mark.
Last night my band performed at the iconic Brooklyn Museum as a part of Carnegie Hall’s Citywide series. It was a beautiful intergenerational event celebrating the Asian diaspora and global movements for justice and liberation. You can watch a clip of our performance here.
And, believe it or not, I’ll be going back to the actual White House tomorrow, May 8th, to play at a special event on the South Lawn. I’ll share the highlights on the other side! Thanks for all the support along the way!
