Kiran Ahluwalia performs at the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday, August 24, 2006 as part of the summer-long Twilight Dance Series. Ahluwalia is an Indo-Canadian singer who has devoted much of her life to learning the art of Indian vocal music and in particular ghazal, a poetic song form that arrived in India since the fourteenth century. Next Thursday will conclude the summer-long Twilight Dance Series with a performance by the David Grisman Quintet.
