Jasdeep Singh Degun

Submit to the beauty and sorrow, the poetry and power, of the sitar – that plucked string instrument with the long neck, pear-shaped gourd and origins in the courts of the Maharajahs of medieval India. Marvel at the astonishing prowess of Jasdeep Singh Degun, a sitarist steeped in the Indian classical tradition and proudly born, raised and based in Leeds, north of England.

Jogkauns is Jasdeep Singh Degun’s first full-length album dedicated entirely to Indian classical music. Recorded live with tabla accompanist Harkiret Bahra, it captures Jasdeep at a defining moment in his career. Returning to the foundations of his artistry, he brings rare intensity and lyricism to the long-form tradition of raags, in performances both timeless and contemporary.
