    along the way. Kumar has utilised her exceptional choreography and teaching skills to open her

    values through the lives of a typical British Asian household. With an amazing 83 sell-out shows
    around the UK, 86k audience members, roaring reviews, and standing ovations, it’s become the

    musicality and sensitivity towards. Not only towards Indian Classical but many other different
    styles and genres of music. Degun was a small child when he began singing devotional Kirtan at
