Rubaba’s Bio
Rubaba: A Musical Journey of Spiritual Awakening
Rubaba is an exceptional musician and spiritual guide who heals the world one note at a time. With over 30 years of dedication to the art and science of music, Rubaba is a seasoned multi-instrumentalist, classically trained musician, and vocalist renowned for his transformative techniques. Graduating in songwriting from the esteemed Berklee College of Music and trained in both Indian and Western classical music traditions, he skillfully combines these influences to foster unity with the divine through music.
Rubaba’s music is available on major platforms including Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube Music, reaching a global audience. His mission is to enable all beings to realize their full creative and spiritual potential by creating a transformative experience that harmonizes sound with consciousness.
Through a practice that combines Ecstatic Kirtan, Ecstatic Dance, and Swara Samadhi, Rubaba bridges the realms of sound and consciousness. His journey is deeply rooted in the ancient sonic wisdom of the Sam Veda—a sacred text composed in Sanskrit around 1500 BCE, which intricately weaves specific Ragas designed to evoke a spectrum of emotions within the listener.
Rubaba’s unique devotional singing style harmonizes conscious and subconscious awareness, guiding listeners into Swara Samadhi—a state of transcendence through sound. His music catalyzes a profound healing response, facilitating emotional release and deep relaxation, ultimately activating the parasympathetic nervous system and fostering inner peace.
His offerings encompass call-and-response style Ecstatic Kirtan, the ancient vocal meditation practice of Naad Yoga, and the immersive expression of Ecstatic Dance. Each performance invokes the divine presence of revered deities such as Shiva, Brahma, Parvati, and Krishna, chanting sacred mantras mapped to their corresponding Raag as prescribed in the ancient Vedas.
Rubaba’s sessions are mesmerizing sonic journeys, woven with layers of guitars, keyboards, ethnic flutes, the Rubab, and percussion, fused with ethereal electronic elements. This synergy of sound and devotion creates an atmosphere of deep spiritual awakening and emotional release.
His Ecstatic Dance sets are deeply immersive, featuring originally produced soundscapes layered with live vocals, rooted in the sacred principles of Sama Veda and Naad Yoga, intertwined with electronic instrumentation. His music fuses diverse global influences, blending Indian classical, African, Moroccan, Makam music, Flamenco, Celtic, Punjabi, and upbeat electronica into a soul-stirring journey.
Rubaba has recently collaborated with Padamshree Award winner Gulfam Ahmad, bringing a new dimension to his musical endeavors. Together, they explore the cross-cultural fusion of traditional and modern sounds, enhancing the spiritual and emotional depth of their performances.
He has also performed at prominent festivals such as the Interfusion Festival and the Higher Love Festival, where his music captivated audiences and fostered profound connections among participants.
Designed to activate the heart and throat chakras, Rubaba’s sets create a safe space for expressive movement, encouraging participants to honor their hearts, minds, and bodies. Whether through gentle sways or uninhibited dance, attendees embrace their own rhythm, fostering emotional release, self-expression, and profound inner connection.
