NPR : Out of India, Via Canada: 'Kiran Ahluwalia'
Canadian singer Kiran Ahluwalia's self-titled CD celebrates traditional Indian songs called ghazals. Ahluwalia left India as a girl.

The Connection.org : Kiran Ahluwalia: "Lyrical, delicate and powerful, ghazals are poems set to music. They were created in Persia 1,000 years ago and traveled to India 400 years later. Although most are ballads, some can be danced to, and they all have to do with love: falling in and out of it, flirting, melancholy, or even the love of one's land. "
