Kommune presents an evening of Hindustani Stories, Music and Poetry, featuring Piyush Mishra, Divya Prakash Dubey, Priya Malik, Rajat Sood, Nayab Midha, and more!

At each Spoken, we witness a crowd of thousands snap their fingers and ask for more of a language that has survived through the centuries. Of a language you can love, no matter which one you speak. Urdu, Hindi, Hindustani... possibly the most beautiful family of languages alive, still steal thousands of hearts. So, we're back with an entire evening of it, of poetry, music, storytelling... of words that hug you with warmth. To all the artists, art enthusiasts, wordsmiths, and most of all, lovers of all cultures, we present to you, Spoken Salon #2: Shabd.

Kahaani Qisson ka jadoo

Hamare hisson ka jadoo

Jadoo sangeet nazmon ka

Jadoo mehfil ka majmon ka.

Jadoo in sab ka laaye hain

Aapke Shabd aaye hain.

What will you see at Shabd?

Itl is a celebration of Hindustani & Urdu. It is our roots and roohaniyath played out in the stories we tell, the poetry we write, and the songs we sing. These couple of hours will leave you in awe, connected, and most of all, rooted.
