vocalsKavita's work sits at the intersection of modern jazz, new creative music, and world traditions. The impetus for her visit today was her 2023 tribute to African legend Cesária ?vora, Cape Verdean Blues (Folkalist Records). We cover her personal experiences as a lifelong New Yorker of Indian origin, her work as an advocate for gender and racial equity in the arts, and the musical journey that landed her in Cape Verde.
