Kadahin Milandaasin cover art

On 'Kadahin Milandaasin', composer-drummer Tarun Balani explores themes of ancestral memory and cultural identity through a deeply personal lens focused on his Sindhi heritage. The album's contemporary jazz sound seamlessly blends Sindhi folk traditions, with compositions built around expressive piano and yearning trumpet melodies instead of a traditional bass player. This sonic tapestry, recorded by John Davis, balances nuanced improvisation with a clear narrative, reflecting on migration and longing as encapsulated by the title's Sindhi translation, 'When Will We Meet?'.
