The members of this outfit come from all kinds of musical backgrounds from rock to Indian classical. Their brand of contemporary ‘organic’ fusion has however, been hailed as one of the most original and creative sounds to ever come out of the Indian underground music scene. No where else can one hear a sarangi, tabla and Hindustani Classical vocalist blend so effortlessly, yet so exotically with guitars, drums and keyboards. Added to this brew are electronic soundscapes which give their music a new age global context.   The last season has seen Advaita’s reputation row by leaps and bounds and the band is now considered one of the most exciting live acts on the circuit in Delhi.

Outlook magazine refer to them as ‘pioneers’ of a new sound and The Hindustan Times very recently awarded them the title of ‘bright spark’ in their survey of the Delhi music scene. Advaita’s refreshing approach to the confluence of Eastern and Western sounds and their mature song-writing has also won them praise from such respected artists as Shubha Mudgal, Talvin Singh and Salman Ahmed of Junoon.
