Evolved Productions & Inner Journeys Presents
Nivara featuring
Adham Shaikh
Kylee Dawn & Suncatjah
We’re so excited to invite you to Nivara - a night of music, movement, and connection, presented by Evolved Productions & Inner Journeys.
Nivara is a word often associated with peace, shelter, and sanctuary. That’s the intention behind this gathering: to create a space where the community can come together, move freely, and share in the joy of music and dance.
It is such a joy and honour to welcome legendary Adham Shaikh back to Mohkinstis Calgary. Joining us from Nelson BC, Adham Shaikh is a composer, record producer and sound designer.
Adham Shaikh's interest in music began by exploring synthesizers in the early 1980s. In the early 1990s, he found the electronic music scene full of innovative and explorative sounds. This environment created an opportunity for him to present his compositions to an audience already embracing electronic music. Shaikh furthered his electro acoustic composition at Queen's University and has continued making music resulting in his present diverse discography.
Shaikh's music is a blend of many different styles and techniques. It is a world groove blend of fusion, dub, world beat, tech house, ambient, and jazz. From growing up listening to Indian ragas and Western classical music, he developed an ear for a fusion of sounds from around the world. This musical blend of styles and traditions inspire his compositions. The 21st-century rituals of dance and chill-out have drawn Shaikh to explore the trance phenomenon that these different expressions of music create and allow.
