As we recently wrote in her artist biography: ganavya's prowess is hardly contained within the realm of recording; it comes to life on the stage. Now, that fact is on full display with a live performance that the transdisciplinary scholar, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and word-craftswoman gave on Later... with Jools Holland.

Here, ganavya performs forgive me my from her latest album like the sky I've been too quiet, released earlier this year through Shabaka Hutchings’ Native Rebel Recordings:

"A woman in an ethereal white dress, alone under the spotlights, unleashed elegant, deeply moving vocal acrobatics that drew on south Asian classical traditions (...) Many wondered who this beguiling presence was, whose voice had a delicate emotive heft that could turn stoics into sobbing wrecks." - The Guardian

ganavya performs at Le Guess Who? 2024 on Friday, 8 November, as part of the program curated by DARKSIDE. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Arooj Aftab, Meshell Ndegeocello, Sheherazaad, Dina El Wedidi, Nooriyah, and many more.
