The ethereal Pakistani-British singer and innovative avant-blues guitarist have been collaborating on an album of countrified ghazals, the romantic South Asian style Najma specializes in, and this show marks their live debut. East and West blend literally, thanks to Lucas's National steel accompaniment, while his electronic loops and other special effects launch ancient rhythms into hauntingly futuristic territory. Dibyarka Chatterjee joins them on tabla. GEHR.
