SHANTI Shanti is an indo-jazz fusion ensemble formed by Goa's sitar maestro Yograj Naik. Indian classical music can be compared to jazz as both are forms of improvised music. Whereas Indian classical is linear and uses just one scale (raga) to improvise within a composition, jazz has a much broader palette for improvisation where multiple scales can be used to improvise through complex harmonies. Indian classical music however, has some of the world's most complex rhythm structures and subtle quarter tones that adds a different and exciting dimension to musical improvisation. Shanti will bring together the two styles of improvisation to create a very funky sound of fusion. The band will perform at The GTDC's Grape Escape wine festival in panjim on the 13th and will feature: Yograj Naik...sitar Sadashiv Aiholi...vocals Dilshad Balsara...saxophone Carlos Gonsalves...Latin percussion Shantilal Mardolkar...Indian percussion Anand Shankar...tabla Vishnu Shirodkar...keyboards Colin D'Cruz...fretless bass
