Live Music – Gharana Fusion Band 

The Cultural Wing of Student Life Committee (SLC) organised Gharana Fusion Band’s Live Music, on 26 October at Tarangini Amphitheatre.

Touching on the acoustics of Ethno Percussions, with a unique blend of the Creative Guitar and Flute, Gharana Fusion band’s music is influenced by the environment, eternal bonding between a mother and her child, harmony among people, lifestyle of rural dwellers connected to the river, confiding to universal cosmic energy and celebration of life. 

GHARANA’s musicians are from different lands of India, belonging to different religions, cultures and speaking different languages. And so their researched work has a diversified taste laden with Khamak-Bansuri combi, Dizi-Cajon parts, Ocarina-Ghungroo-Tabla, multi-rhythm patterns, breathtaking Sawal-Jawabs and Jugalbandis, with expressive Bandanas, Bols and multilingual vocals. 

GHARANA has given spectacular performances in different national concerts, festivals, cultural centers, cafes, clubs, colleges, communities, house concerts, corporate events, exhibitions, fundraisers, workshops etc., in various countries. Here is a brief description of the artists: 

Sri. Susnata Har (Ethno Guitar, backing vocals)

Susnata’s rhythmic leads control the base of every composition. His self-taught guitar playing is very different from the conventional. He blends his raaga-based solos with neo-classical impros and folk elements and the result is an unheard match. It might seem that he is playing classic, but within a few seconds that will be transformed into some fusion melody. Thus it is unique as improvised.

Sri. Arnab Roy (Bansuri, Bass Flute)

Arnab got his initial music training from the renowned Indian classical musician Sri. Ashok Karmakar. He is also into the contemporary and folk genres for a long time and an expert in handling different woodwind instruments. Arnab holds various national appreciations, with multi-cities performances and association with Bangiya Sangeet Parishad.

Sri. Argha Dey (Tabla, Cajon, Kanjira, Khamak, Cymbals, Vocals)

Argha sings and plays the Tabla, Khamak, Dubki etc. and other traditional instruments with remarkable precision, a difficult act, rare in the reach of renowned percussionists. He is a specialist in delivering amazing Bols and Body-beats. The creation of a sound, performance and re-experimenting with that, for the next level of formulation proves his devotion, love and endless research with all the training he has got from his Gurus.
