NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) will hold an evening of music at the Tusten Theatre on Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m.

“East Meets West” is a performance by Indian sitar and tabla musician Ustad Shafaat Khan and South American guitarist, pianist and composer Beledo.

 “Experience music that blends the cultural traditions of Indian classical and folk on sitar, tabla and vocals, with flamenco, pop, guitar, keyboards and western percussion,” a DVAA spokesperson wrote.

Ustad Shafaat Khan was born in Mumbai, India, into an esteemed musical family with a legacy dating back to the 16th century, the spokesperson wrote. His ancestors were master musicians of the Mughal courts.

Khan has performed in concert halls and music festivals worldwide.

He has released three albums in which he performed on the sitar/surbahar and accompanied himself on the tabla— a first in Indian classical music. Kahn performed his composition, “River of Strings,” at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia with a western symphony orchestra.

As a teenager, Beledo played every theatre in his hometown of Montevideo as well as in Uruguay and Argentina. After a brief tenure with Uruguayan rock and blues group Dias de Blues, he pioneered the jazz-rock band, Maytreya and later on, the group Siddhartha, inspired by the burgeoning jazz-fusion movement.

In 2016 Beledo released his first CD on Moonjune Records, featuring his multi-instrumentalist skill on guitars, piano, keyboards, violin, accordion and vocals.

Versed in classical theory, composition, and technique, he also plays in the traditional styles of his birthplace. Drawing inspiration from vast and diverse modern musical forms, the spokesperson wrote, Beledo has earned his place among our time’s most sophisticated, versatile, and gifted artists.

Performances take place at the Tusten Theatre, 210 Bridge St.

Tickets for nonmembers of DVAA  cost $25 in advance and $30 at the door. The cost for members is $20 and $25 respectively.

Kids aged 12 and under are admitted free. The box office and concession stand open at 6:30 p.m.
