    Founded in 2008, Baraka Moon features Sukhawat Ali Khan on vocals and harmonium, Geoffrey Gordon on percussion, keyboards, and vocals, and didjeridu virtuoso Stephen Kent.

    Sukhawat Ali Kahn represents the family lineage of the 600-year-old Sham Chorasi traditional school of music, which was established during the reign of Emperor Akbar of India. His training in both classical raga and Sufi Qawwali singing began at the age of seven under his father, legendary Pakistani/Indian vocalist Ustad Salamat Ali Khan.

    Geoffrey Gordon worked on and off broadway and internationally with director Julie Taymor (Across the Universe, Frida) and composer Elliot Goldenthal (Academy Award for Best Soundtrack). Geoffrey has worked on several Cohen Brothers movie soundtracks with composer Carter Burwell as well as on films with Elliot Goldenthal.

    Stephen Kent is acknowledged as one of the contemporary world's pioneer virtuosos on the Australian Aboriginal Didjeridu. Since joining Australia's Circus Oz as Music Director in 1981 he has performed all over the world both solo and in group projects.
