Rootstock Arts presents a captivating evening of cross-cultural musical dialogue with "Rubab Meets Sarod" on August 15th, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM . Hosted at the intimate Rootstock Arts Center (5741 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA), this performance brings together the rich, soulful string traditions of Afghan and Indian classical music. The concert highlights the shared heritage and unique voices of two deeply expressive lutes: the Afghan Rubab and the Indian Sarod. As the music fluidly moves between the structured depth of Hindustani classical frameworks and the vibrant storytelling of traditional folk melodies, it invites listeners into a shared space of warmth, stillness, and emotional honesty. Siddique Ahmed (Rubab): A versatile multi-instrumentalist and music producer based in San Francisco, Siddique Ahmed (also known as Sohrab) is a founding member of Kabul Dreams, Afghanistan's first rock band. Over his lifelong musical journey, his path has led him back to his roots, where he focuses on preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Afghan classical and folk music. Through the soulful voice of the traditional Afghan Rubab, Siddique brings the diverse, timeless rhythms of different Afghan regions to life on the international stage. Souryadeep Bhattacharyya (Sarod): An internationally recognized, ICCR-empaneled artist based in the Bay Area, Souryadeep's musical lineage flows from the revered Rampur-Shahjahanpur and Maihar gharanas under the guidance of Pt. Alok Lahiri. His playing style combines deep technical mastery with a fluid, emotionally resonant expression that allows tradition to breathe in the present moment. Souryadeep has performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including the Lincoln Center and the Chicago Cultural Center, bringing a meditative and deeply human touch to the Sarod. Edrees Osman (Tabla) : A tabla player and cultural curator based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Edrees e is widely recognized for his dedication to preservin
