Dean Magraw & Suwal Singh
Dean Magraw (guitar) + Suwal Singh (tabla) explore, extend, and celebrate their music at MetroNOME. Their duo is a unique expression of the interplay between strings and percussion - featuring the sonic cornucopia of tabla weaving into the colorful vibrations of guitar – melodies, grooves, laughter, tears, heart – hear it, heal it.
