SUMMARY:Noor e Dastan by Bhuwin
DESCRIPTION:An evening of Sufi storytelling\, Punjabi and Rajasthani folk\, and acoustic reinterpretations of the songs that shaped a generation. \nSinger-poet Bhuwin Returns with his signature Baithak format to Calgary— an intimate\, vocal-and-guitar-driven set that moves between original Sufi compositions\, qawwali\, and reimagined Bollywood and Punjabi folk classics. Using live looping\, he builds full arrangements in real time on stage — layering rhythm\, melody\, and harmony into a sound that fills the room like a full band\, performed entirely solo. \nIt’s a listening room\, not a concert in the usual sense. Lyrics matter here. So does silence. Expect a roughly three-hour set of music — give or take half an hour — meant to slow the evening down and bring a restless heart some quiet. \nDoors 6:00 p.m. Show 7:00 p.m.  All ages \n\nThere are no refunds or exchanges on tickets. (If the performance is rescheduled\, tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date or refunded at the discretion of the promoter.) \nAll patrons over the age of 1 year old must have a ticket in order to enter the auditorium.
