Composer and Sarod player Avra Banerjee offers up a seamless blend of Indian and Western melodies and rhythms on his Global Music project, with first track “Ganga Kaleidoscope,” delivering a transcendental sonic experience.
A true musical voyage on the river Ganga, the emotive and ethereal track crafted in an unconventional and dynamic pattern evokes powerful feelings moving from ferocity to tranquillity with swaying ease.
Led by intricate instrumentation that finds organic connection and soaring yet angelic vocals, “Ganga Kaleidoscope,” binds together to reverberate within your heart and mind long after the track ends and trigger spiritual awakening.
The track, composed by Banerjee with lyrics from Bhaswar Dasgupta is given life by Mahalakshmi Iyer on vocals alongside Rhythm Shaw (Guitars); Ojas Adhiya (Tabla); Avra Banerjee (Sarod); Tamal Halder (Piano/Keys) Bachospati Chakraborty (Bass Guitar); Himadri Sekhar Das (Drums).
With a wealth of experience in Indian classical music, Banerjee’s project is a divine and contemplative journey framed by peace, euphoria and everything in between that sees him branch out from the earthy tones of Hindustani classical to capture space in the expanses of contemporary and World music.
