Asian Tones proudly presents: Kapil Seshasayee's debut London headline performance.Kapil Seshasayee is a British-Tamil guitarist and songwriter reshaping South Asian classical music for a new generation. Drawing from Carnatic Indian classical traditions, UK electronic music, and guitar-led club culture, his work sits somewhere between the discipline of raga and the energy of the dancefloor. Known for his distinctive use of gamakas on electric guitar, Kapil creates music that feels rooted, physical, and forward-looking - made for listeners raised between cultures.
Based in the UK and increasingly associated with London's alternative diaspora scene, Kapil has performed internationally across festivals and venues including SXSW, The Roundhouse, Concorde 2 (Brighton), and Dialled In, sharing stages with artists such as Talvin Singh and Tinariwen.
Alongside his releases, Kapil has built a dedicated online following through live streamed performances and short-form videos, connecting with audiences who rarely see South Asian classical music presented in this way. His work often explores identity, migration, and access - not as concepts, but as lived experience.
This London headline marks a new chapter: bold, rhythm-driven, guitar-led music that reimagines classical South Asian sound through a contemporary, urban lens.
For Fans Of: Yussef Dayes / Talvin Singh / Mdou Moctar
