Shankh and Friends invites audiences into a transcendent musical journey where ancienttraditions pulse vibrantly within today’s dynamic soundscapes. Their artistry unfolds as a living
mosaic — woven with enigmatic harmonies, bold arrangements, and irresistible polyrhythms —
simmering with global influences and an unmistakable touch of sonic alchemy.
At the heart of this ever-evolving collective is internationally touring musician Shankh Lahiri
— a master of tabla and vocals, deeply rooted in the rich lineage of Indian classical music. With
meditative ragas and dazzling taals, he bridges timeless tradition and contemporary expression,
guiding audiences into a cross-cultural dialogue that feels both sacred and electrifying. Beyond
the stage, he serves as CEO of the Shruti Foundation and as the visionary frontman of Wahh
World Fusion Band, shaping music not only as an art form, but as a bridge between cultures and
communities.
Joining him are Bobak, Siddarth Sivaram ( Sid), and Cletus — artists whose distinct musical
voices ignite the ensemble’s global conversation. Drawing from his Persian heritage, Bobak
layers swirling guitar textures with evocative vocals. Bryan brings masterful and very unique
Indian raga and jazz flavor on sophistication through expressive saxophone lines, while Cletus —
steeped in the deep grooves of Jamaican rhythm — anchors the
sound with soulful, resonant bass. Their shared foundations in jazz, R&B, rock, and
contemporary genres seamlessly intertwine with Indian classical traditions, creating
performances that are immersive, dynamic, and profoundly moving.
