In particular, it presents an ethno musicological – anthropological approach of the Sikh community in Tavros in Athens, Greece. Based on fieldwork research, I explore the ways in which the sacred music of kirtan is perceived and conceived by the members of the community. As fieldwork reveals, the migratory experience affects the musical performance of the sacred music. Despite these alterations, I argue that music in its ritual context empowers the sense of belonging of the community in the foreign place away from their motherland, India.
