When T.L. Mazumdar aka EveryNowHere started the podcast series Tapasya Loading in 2020, one of his key goals was to pool together the worldview of artists that he had found inspiring without the confines of styles, geography or experience levels. As the multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and educator celebrates and zooming past 100 episodes with a Wild City Mix, naturally his selection follows the same ethos.  The mix is ripe with artists who have appeared as guests on the podcast, connecting topics from music education and the diaspora artist experience to mental health and the creative process for a holistic view of what it's like to be a creative practitioner. Consequently, the selection can go from sparse electro-R&B ('BLUE' by LO) to Punjabi yearnful laments over tabla rhythms ('Tera Jugg' by Kiran Ahluwalia) in less than 10 minutes. While every once in a while there are works showcasing virtuosity within a defined genre ('7 Cows Jumping Over The Moon' by Kai Eckhardt Band), the mix mostly seems to be tied together with the quality of pushing beyond any stylistic boxes and seamlessly jumping between them.

What does it take to sustain both a marriage and a creative partnership—without one overshadowing the other? In this long-awaited conversation, we sit down with returning guests Kiran Ahluwalia & Rez Abbasi, a powerhouse couple who have built extraordinary solo careers while seamlessly collaborating as partners in both life and music. From navigating creative differences to maintaining individuality within a shared artistic vision, Kiran and Rez open up about the complexities of working side by side in an industry that often blurs the line between personal and professional. We explore how they challenge traditions, support each other's artistic evolution, and continue to create a sound that is both deeply personal and globally resonant. We also dive into the challenges of navigating social media as artists—how they balance authenticity with the pressures of visibility, and the impact it has on their creative process and well-being. Additionally, we discuss the risks artists take in pursuit of their craft. Kiran shares her experience of suffering a major accident while filming a music video, highlighting the dedication and sacrifices that often go unseen in an artist's journey. About Our Guests: Kiran Ahluwalia is a two-time Juno Award-winning vocalist known for her contemporary take on the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan. With roots in Sufi, Qawwali, Ghazal, and Punjabi folk, she masterfully weaves influences from Mali, rock, R&B, and jazz into a sound that defies boundaries. Leading a dynamic 6-piece ensemble, she crafts music that is at once reflective, groovy, and deeply human—what the Seattle Times calls “a transnational sound as fresh as tomorrow.” Rez Abbasi is a Guggenheim Fellowship-winning guitarist and composer, widely regarded as one of the most original voices in modern jazz. Voted #1 Rising-Star Guitarist in the DownBeat Critics Poll, he has been ranked alongside greats like Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, raised in Southern California, and deeply influenced by jazz, classical, and Indian music, Rez creates a sonic landscape that is as intellectually profound as it is emotionally stirring. Together, Kiran and Rez embody the beauty and challenge of being hyphenated global artists—shaping their own artistic identities while constantly inspiring each other. Tune in for a heartfelt, insightful discussion on love, music, and the delicate dance of sustaining both. (Want more?

Singer-songwriter Kiran Ahluwalia writes and performs songs of breakup and love with equal conviction, exhilaratingly mixing Indian music with West African Blues riffs and languid Jazz. The result is a merging of elegance and crispness, all with an easy, inviting charm. Her music is contemporary and fresh, yet still feels somehow familiar. Born In India, brought up in Toronto, Kiran studied Indian music since childhood. Winning two JUNO Awards (Canadian Grammys), over the course of seven albums Kiran has created a style uniquely her own. The beautiful harmonies and addictive guitar riffs of partner Rez Abbasi, and their shared love of trancy rhythms masterfully played on drum kit, tabla and djembe have shaped the songs on Kiran's latest release 7 Billion (Six Degrees). Both a lyricist and composer, Kiran's songs speak of cultural intolerance, fighting civil wars within ourselves and realizing female desire by throwing away shame. Her re-working of the classic Qawwali tune Mustt Mustt with the Malian super group Tinariwen has racked up nearly 3 million views online.   This episode is brought to you by www.everynowheremusic.com   Recorded on a Zoom L8 Mixer kindly sponsored by https://www.sound-service.eu     Connect with Kiran :  www.KiranMusic.com Facebook YouTube Instagram Spotify Connect with T.L. / EveryNowHere Website: www.findtl.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everynowheremusic/ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39S0dP5 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tlmusician Twitter: https://twitter.com/tlmazumdar

(Rec. 5th June 2020) Voted #1 “Rising-Star Guitarist” in 2013's DownBeat Critics Poll and successively in the top-ten guitarists alongside luminaries Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny, guitarist and composer Rez Abbasi is among a rare breed of artists that continue to push boundaries while preserving the traditions he has embraced. “Abbasi is living, breathing proof that jazz music can be as vital and boundary-pushing as ever.” AllAboutJazz.com. 
 Born in Karachi, Pakistan, migrating at the age of four to the vastness of Southern California, schooled at the University of Southern California and the Manhattan School of Music in jazz and classical music, along with a pilgrimage in India under the guidance of master percussionist, Ustad Alla Rakha, Abbasi is a vivid synthesis of all the above stated influences and genres. Making New York home for the past 25 years, he has developed a unique sound both as a composer and an instrumentalist and is considered by many to be one of the foremost modern jazz guitar players the world over. With fifteen albums of mostly original compositions, Abbasi continues to forge new ground with his many multi-dimensional projects. From his 2005 organ trio recording Snake Charmer that features Indian vocal sensation Kiran Ahluwalia, to his recent Behind the Vibration (2015), he captures provocative sounds rarely heard in jazz. Abbasi's sixth album, Things To Come (2009) features a star-studded group of Vijay Iyer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Dan Weiss, Johannes Weidenmueller and Ahluwalia and was included in DownBeat's “top CD's of the decade” along with a 4.5 star review. The same year he was awarded the prestigious Chamber Music America (CMA) commission to compose new works for the same ensemble, Invocation. 
 In 2010, Abbasi reconvened his group Invocation to record the follow-up to Things To Come, Suno Suno which features his CMA commissioned compositions that are informed by Qawwali - spiritual music from Pakistan. The power, joy and depth that Qawwali encompasses can be heard throughout Suno Suno. In 2017, Unfiltered Universe was released. It is Abbasi's third of a trilogy of albums with his group Invocation and his twelfth album release. The compositions are based on his experiences performing with Carnatic musicians and dancers and were once again commissioned by CMA. Among Abbasi's most recent projects is a commission by the New York Guitar Festival to create and perform a live score for the 1929 silent film A Throw of Dice, based on an episode from the Indian Sanskrit epic The Mahabharata. His “Silent Ensemble” recorded the score and the album was released in 2019. In 2020 Rez is set to release his 15th album, Django-shift which features his imaginative recasting of the music of Django Reinhardt, one of history's most influential guitarists.   This Episode is brought to you by www.everynowheremusic.com  Connect with Rez Abbasi:  Website: www.reztone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rez-Abbasi-71229228740 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reztone/    Connect with T.L.

He has five albums of original compositions, but it was his 2005 album "Snake Charmer" that has created a stir in the music world due to his blending of jazz and Indian music. Having performed and recorded with many of the greats (Ruth Brown, Peter Erskine, among others), Abbasi's new album "Bazaar" creates an even larger sphere of sound and is on the prestigious Zoho Music Label.

Titled the "Best of 2007" by Jazz Improv and "Best of 2006" by All About Jazz, New York based musician Rez Abbasi seamlessly combines jazz, soul-jazz, classical and world music. Hailing from the Indian sub-continent and trained at the University of California and the Manhattan School of Music, Abbasi is considered by many to be one of the leading jazz guitarists and composers of our day. He has five albums of original compositions, but it was his 2005 album "Snake Charmer" that has created a stir in the music world due to his blending of jazz and Indian music. Having performed and recorded with many of the greats (Ruth Brown, Peter Erskine, among others), Abbasi's new album "Bazaar" creates an even larger sphere of sound and is on the prestigious Zoho Music Label. Joining Abbasi at Baruch is Gary Versace on organ, Ted Poor on drums and tabla, and the famed Indian folk musician Kiran Ahluwalia.
