"Bridging cultural gaps with music... She [Falu] and her band mix Hindustani classical - a fusion of Arabic and South Indian music - with pop and Oriental styles. It is East and West, ancient and modern." - The New York Times
"Ethereal" and "Transcendent" - Billboard
Critically lauded, India born world musician Falu<http://www.falumusic.com/> premieres the vibrant song "Ghumar" today on Huffington Post! "Ghumar" is the lead track from Falu's upcoming album Foras Road (out independently on May 28th, 2013) that was produced by Grammy-Award winning producer Danny Blume (Jewel, Lisa Loeb).

The word "Ghumar" is actually a type of a fancy dress worn in the state of Rajasthan, India. Sung in the South Asian language of Rajasthani, Falu's lyrics on "Ghumar" are about celebrating and welcoming the fact that a girl is finally attaining womanhood. The New York Times says Falu has been "bridging cultural gaps with music" by mixing traditional Indian elements with the diverse sounds of rock, pop, electronic and stunning modern acoustic instrumentation.
Taking its name from the oldest red-light district in the Indian city of Mumbai, Foras Road captures the enduring musical traditions and cultural history of India's centuries-old brothels. The fascinating album concept was recorded half in India, so Falu could call upon some amazing South Asian-based musicians to record strings and melodies.  The other half of the album was recorded with her current band at Blume's studios in upstate New York.
Live, Falu delivers captivating performances. She has sparked interest from all types of music enthusiasts, pleased the toughest of critics, and has performed nationally on FOX TV and internationally on National Geographic TV. Her captivating sound, which on past records the Wall Street Journal hailed as "Indie Hindi," has secured her performances at prestigious venues such as: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center - a special performance for the Dalai Lama - and at The White House for President Obama's first State Dinner in honor of the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

In support of the beautifully orchestrated album, Falu will be giving special performance at her record release show on Wednesday, May 29th at New York City's Highline Ballroom. The event is co-sponsored by the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC<http://www.iaac.us/>), a not-for-profit 501(c)3 arts organization with a passionate mission to showcase and build an awareness for performing, visual and literary arts from/of/about the Indian subcontinent. Plus, Falu will be welcoming ONE<http://www.one.org/us/>, an active community committed to fighting extreme poverty around the world. The show will also feature the fantastic sounds of Slavic Soul Party (Balkan Funk Brass Band) and Zikrayat (Arabic music and dance ensemble). It will be a night to dance to truly amazing music from around the globe!
