* Ajeet Spingtour 2024
Spring brings a sense of freshness and vibrant new life. Emerging after many months in her own healing process, Ajeet embodies the feeling of waking from a deep inner winter changed, opened, deepened.. Those who come to Ajeet’s concerts can expect moments of all encompassing calm, an experience of music as a mode of ritual and connection, and exuberant realms of celebration and release. The audience often feels like it moves and breathes as one with the music, traveling through meditative spaces, inner realms, and then rising together into dance and rhythm. The experience of Ajeet and her band is layered and moves through many rich colours like a dream or ceremony.
The intention of Ajeet’s music is healing and connection; a collective and interwoven experience more than a performance. The band draws elements of Latin and African percussion from Spanish-born Raffa Martinez together with influences and instrumentation from Ireland. Aisling Urwin, born and raised in Co. Kerry, Ireland, opens one’s mind to the full musical and emotional range of the Irish harp while Ajeet dances through her intricate soundscape with deep feel-it-in-your-bones percussion on her Bodhrán and playful breathy strokes of melody with the low whistle. All of this created the musical dream in which Ajeet’s soulful voice explores new spaces with every concert.
Ajeet’s integral love of folk traditions has lead her to study traditional song and instrumentation in India, Central and South America, and her own ancestral land and home country of Ireland. She is dedicated to gathering and studying traditional music for the rest of her days, and this ongoing relationship shines through musically in intentional and unconscious ways throughout her own musical offerings. These deep rooted traditional influences weave with her own unique softness to offer an unexpected and transporting musical opening for a rich and profound experience.
