sONAM Kalra - The Sufi Gospel Project - The Amazing Grace Prayer - for INK

Nikhil D’Souza is a guitarist/singer-songwriter from Mumbai. His genre might be loosely defined as pop/alternative with folk influences. The music has a full melodic quality to it mainly due to the use of alternative tunings, favored by such artists as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, on most of the tracks. 

His main influences have been Sting, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and Damien Rice besides several others. Early on, in college, he was part of a band called “Mr. John’s Banned” that went on to play at Independence Rock in 2000 and achieved a degree of success in the Mumbai circuit at the time.

The Barmer Boys are Mangey Khan (vocals, harmonium), Mangu Khan (dholak), Bhungra Khan (khartaal) and Rais Khan (morchang, bhapang, beat-boxing). Barely in their 30s, and yet seasoned performers, they carry forward the centuries-old musical tradition of the Manganiyars and are leading examples of Rajasthani folk and Sufi music. 

Their music is a harmonic blend of distinct performance styles and personalities, with the powerful and nuanced voice of Mangey leading the percussive punch and antics of Rais, Bhungra and Mangu. The group formed in 2011, and has performed with a host of world renowned artists including Vieux Farka Toure, Bombino, BaBa ZuLa, Madou Diabate, Rupa and the April Fishes, and UK’s Jason Singh/Dharohar Project. 

The band's versatility of styles and bubbling energy infuses each performance - from soulful Sufi kalaams to uplifting wedding and celebratory songs, to boisterous jams with beatboxing (perhaps even a live DJ set sometimes!). 

Their debut album At Home: Barmer Boys was released in December 2012 on Amarrass Records and is available in CD and mp3 format on iTunes, Amazon.com, amarrass.com and select independent music stores in the US, India and Europe. Mangey Khan is also a featured artist on the album Mitha Bol (2011, Amarrass Records), nominated for 'Folk Album of the Year' at the 2012 GiMA Awards (India's Grammies).
