Asha Puthli: The Cosmic Voyager
A nostalgic acid jazz night.
Mumbai-born Asha Puthli is a true musical icon who has spent five decades as one of music's best-kept secrets. From her burst onto the jazz scene with Ornette Coleman in 1972 to her pioneering role in cosmic disco, Puthli's career has bridged avant-garde jazz, Indian raga, and operatic training. In this rare performance, she brings her pioneering catalogue to life alongside a stellar band and special guests. Known for her ethereal vocals and cult classics like "The Devil is Loose" and the iconic "Space Talk," her influence spans generations, including recent collaborations with Gorillaz.
