About The Event
Kolkata Centre for Creativity presents Rudra Yogini, a landmark musical concert that bridges the earth-bound mysticism of the Baul tradition with the resonant, celestial depths of the Rudra Veena.
The performance seeks to recreate the music of the Charyapadas—8th-century mystical poems composed by the 84 Siddhas. Regarded as the earliest documented form of the Bengali language and the very root of Baul philosophy, these ancient verses find a contemporary voice through two of the world’s most revered masters. The concert is an immersive 2.5-hour journey, transitioning from the deep, meditative echoes of a Rudra Veena solo to the soulful spirit of Baul song, culminating in a grand collaboration where these two ancient lineages intertwine in a search for universal purity.
