Award-winning artist of the 20-stringed Hindustani slide guitar, Joel Veena, presents 'Ragas & Sagas' - a special concert featuring traditional ragas, original compositions set in the brilliant tradition of south Asian music alongside fascinating tales from the lore of Hindustani (North Indian) music. The performance at Jalopy Theatre will feature two sets: one acoustic, ragas, and one electric, sagas, featuring Joel's new electric set combining electric guitar, bass, his unique modified slide guitar and live looping. Tabla virtuoso and founder of the NYC Tabla School, Mir Naqibul Islam accompanies the concert with his signature style of crisp articulation and emotive improvisation. Mir and Joel have been close collaborators since 2019 (when they first performed together at Jalopy itself), having recorded together for Joel's latest album CARDINAL, and concertgoers can enjoy the seamless interplay of performers deeply familiar with other's work.

“The late great George Harrison may have brought this musical spirit into the Western mainstream, but Veena takes Indian guitar right back to its roots, sharing the cathartic charm of North Indian ragas with global ears.” - A & R Factory.
