**BOBBY SINGH & FRIENDS: TODAY RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE ‘AWAKENING’ & OPENS ALBUM PREORDERS**

ARIA Award-winning tabla virtuoso Bobby Singh today announces his new album Sutradhaar, set for release on December 19. A deeply collaborative and cross-cultural musical journey featuring some of Australia’s finest musicians and composed by his guru, Dr Aneesh Pradhan.

 Meaning ‘string-holder’ or ‘narrator’ in Sanskrit, *Sutradhaar’s *compositions were written by Dr Aneesh Pradhan and arranged Sydney-based jazz icon, **Sandy Evans**, before being recorded and woven together into a rich, genre-defying suite of music by a family of extraordinary musicians including **Jeff Lang, Greg Sheehan, Lara Goodridge**, **Shenzo Gregorio**, **Ben Walsh, Zela Margossian**, and **Tjupurru**. 

The result is an album that transcends genre and geography, bridging Indian classical traditions, jazz, and blues, grounded by the deep resonance of Australian soil through the inclusion of the didgeribone. 

“This album was an incredible moment for me, to not only play and record with my dear friends, but also to work with my teacher, the incredible Dr Aneesh Pradhan.” Said Singh. 

“We were really able to catch something very special showcasing our long musical relationship, and with the support of all my dear friends we are able to present this work to you all. 

“I am deeply honoured and very proud of this work and hope whoever listens to it feels that special bond that music can create across all cultures and languages.”

Adjoining todays announcement is the release of the album lead single ‘Awakening’, a track that encapsulates the project’s spirit and sonic range. 

“‘Awakening’ is a musical journey that really showcases the sounds of this album, sublime solos, incredible grooves, and virtuosic interplay between all the musicians,” Singh reflects.
