These two special concerts on June 27, 28, 2023 marks the return of the band to this seminal venue after 47 years, following their last appearance in 1976.

For all 2023 Shakti dates, alongside McLaughlin and Hussain, today\u2019s Shakti features one of India\u2019s most famous musical stars as Shankar Mahadevan provides vocals alongside violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram (son of original Shakti ghatam player T.H. \u201cVikku\u201dVinayakram). With the recording of their new studio album now complete, the members of Shakti now await the opportunity to continue their pan-global dialogue.

Zakir Hussain on the band\u2019s evolution: \u2018In our initial incarnation, we did not always have the time nor the means to explore. Now, with the decades of individual musical experiences we allhave poured into this, the result reveals an extraordinary depth and level of interaction within this band.\u2019

Shakti emerged in the mid-1970s out of the deep artistic and spiritual connection between guitarist John McLaughlin and Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain. Shakti\u2019s cross-cultural musical conversation dissolved boundaries with uncommon passion, grace, and dexterity \u2013 awakening subsequent generations of musicians to the possibilities of such hybrids in the process.
