Born Into Brothels Ensemble Tour
With composer John McDowell
featuring Falu


       
Born Into Brothels, the Academy Award winning film about children growing up in the red-light district of Calcutta, India and their power to transform their lives has been called "an emotionally exquisite, irresistibly moving and visually elegant movie."

Composer John McDowell has created a colorful global tapestry of a soundtrack with an all-star cast of musicians playing instruments from around the world who infused this acoustic score with depth and soul. McDowell is a man with experience working in spiritual settings, from gospel to Sufi music. This goes a long way toward explaining the soundtrack's overall inspirational tone.

Now the music can be heard live with composer John McDowell and a group of virtuoso musicians.
