Show Description
"[Vishal Vaid's]... penetratingly soulful projections inspire(s) both tears and revolt...a new face to America's auditory landscape." - Relix Magazine
Hailing from a thirteenth century South Asian artform known as ghazal, Vishal Vaid is a vocalist who reinterpets, redefines and offers his song in a contemporary context. With modern world instrumentation - Vishal on harmonium, Jonathan Maron on bass, Karsh Kale on drums and Rufus Cappadoccia on cello - this seasoned sound takes an adaptive journey through generations and finds home in a familiar and emotionally compelling context. Vishal's style breathes a lyrical past, set off by subtle accents of a unique dialogue between global musical forms. Tonight, Vishal will perform two different sets: focusing on more traditional ghazals in the 7:30 show, and putting a more contemporary spin on the material in the 9:30 show.

Hi, I am Tess the Mess (as known to my friends) who celebrates music everyday with a group of crazy people from all genres of musical notes...we frequently gather at my humble abode for good drinks and cheer, and would love to find out if Vishal Vaid has any plans for visiting Toronto in July as we would like to promote his work here (I could organize a small show for him in my party room on the rooftop in my downtown condo building) but need to find his contacts..I was in touch with him some time ago but have lost his email address..can you please be kind enough to pass this msg on or provide his contact details so we can invite him to TO? Many thanks for mesmerizing us with his performances....cheers!
