ڪڏهن ملنداسين Kadahin Milandaasin by Tarun Balani

Jazz drummer and composer Tarun Balani is set to release his new album ڪڏهن ملنداسين Kadahin Milandaasin on May 16 through BERTHOLD Records. This deeply personal work explores his Sindhi heritage, tracing the migration journey of his grandfather from Sindh to New Delhi. The album’s title, ڪڏهن ملنداسين Kadahin Milandaasin, translates to “When Will We Meet?” and reflects themes of longing, identity, and cultural preservation. Balani’s compositions blend traditional Sindhi folk music with contemporary jazz, creating a rich tapestry of rhythm and improvisation.
Together with his band Dharma – Olli Hirvonen (guitar), Sharik Hasan (piano), and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet) – he crafts a sonic landscape that bridges the past and present. With ڪڏهن ملنداسين Kadahin Milandaasin, Balani embarks on a deeply personal journey, offering a poignant musical reflection on his roots.
