Description: 

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 and deepened. 

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 from Ireland. Aisling Urwin, born and raised in Co Kerry 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. 

Ajeet’s integral love of folk traditions has led her to study traditional song and instrumentation in India, Central and South America, and her own ancestral land and home country of Ireland. These deep-rooted traditions weave with her own unique softness to offer an unexpected and transporting musical opening for a rich and profound experience.
