In honor of Universal Human Rights Day, littlefield is proud to host Haroon Bacha, the singer the Taliban tried to silence. Haroon is one of Pakistan's most celebrated Pashtun singers. Because of his music's messages of tolerance and pluralism, he became a prime target of the Taliban's deadly campaign against music. In 2008, he was forced leave his family and seek asylum in NYC. Determined to continue making music, Haroon has recorded a new album and begun working with Radio Liberty in DC, where he hosts cultural and musical programs with the Pashto service. This will be Haroon's first concert for the general public in NY and will be accompanied by master musicians Mohammad Essa on the tabla and Pervez Sakhi playing the rubab. Come hear these marvelous artists and support freedom of musical expression.

Recognized by her internationally known monthly event, Basement Bhangra at NYC's S.O.B.'s, DJ Rekha invites the listener to go with her into a world that merges the traditional Bhangra music of South Asia and the Hip-Hop beats of today.
