Brother and sister, Parveen and Ilyas Khan embody a new generation of artists from the great Indian
musical tradition. Trained in Jaipur in the rigours of classical music, they are shaking up the codes with
finesse and daring. Parveen explores the maands – rare and expressive folk songs – in a resolutely lively approach, driven by improvisation. Ilyas, playing the tablas and the beatbox, blends tradition with urban
rhythms, injecting a singular percussive energy into a thousand-year-old heritage.
