
Soul touching Sitar, Tabla and Sarod,Sarangi from India’s classical music mixed with vibrant African and Latin drums, plus a touch of sweet vocals.

In 2006, pulled together by the shared magnetism of their remarkably diverse musical passions, four young and brightly innovative musicians began to fuse their creative fire into the stream of a single, alchemical project. Their message was as perfectly clear as it was undeniably new, and the powerful confluence of their talents promptly gave birth to the unmistakable vitality of sound, rhythm and sheer style that we now know as New Waves of Ganga Fusion. Poised effortlessly on the usually turbulent cusp between tradition and futurism, the band’s members gather together an impressive array of influences and inspirations into an uncompromising and enchanting force. Three of the five musicians rise to the New Waves vision rooted in the profound heritage of the Benares Gharana, that age-old family tradition of Hindustani Classical music enshrined in the holy Indian town of Varanasi – Benares, as it is still affectionately called. The young Mishra brothers, Anand,Dhananjay,Shibendra,Anshuman & Kushal,sons of the well- loved Mishra family of Benaras Gharana,and already professional exponents of their family’s illustrious musical lineage, daringly carry forward the natural marriage of sitar,tabla,Sarangi,Sarod,Djembe,Vocal to the expanding frontier of fusion.It is against such a panoramic backdrop that the New Waves vision has swiftly begun to unfold, reaching across continents, bridging musical languages, past and future, delving deeper down into the very core of rhythmic and melodic energy, and ultimately challenging their audience to a new perception of fusion – if not to open a doorway into the universals spirit of sound perhaps anything is possible
