Carlo Basile - Surabhi

The Surabhi Ensemble is global music and dance collective who represent different cultures. Surabhi was founded by Indian veena artist Saraswathi Ranganathan in 2010 and is based in Chicago. The ensemble began with the intention of producing Indian raga influenced cross-cultural music. In recent years, it has grown to include Maqam music including the music and dance of North Africa, the Middle East and Spanish flamenco (with Andalusia, Spain (Al-Andalus) being the natural end point to the journey of the many cultures represented within the Surabhi Ensemble).
