PROFILE
The Fusion Music Band
| When Raghu, a classical dancer (Vidwat in
Bharathnatyam), met Bhaskar, a student of music in Madras
University and an acclaimed classical violinist, the fire
within surfaced and ‘ANTARAGNI’ was
born. The former had, for years, cultivated a passion for
western music and this proved handy when the two began to
experiment with fusion music. By evolving a unique blend of Indian Classical, Folk and Western styles of music, in a short span of 2 odd years ‘Antaragni’, has carved a niche for itself in the Bangalore-Mysore music scene. Their lyrics are fresh and their music is original and filled with a raw passion that is aimed at the heart. After two years of its existence, ‘Antaragni’ has been enriched by the contributions from Ravi, a percussionist and flautist of repute. This new dimension to their music has had a spellbinding effect on the listeners and critics alike. From exclusive shows at the
Alliance Francaise to mega concerts on Earth Day, their
reach has been phenomenal. It is not surprising if while
walking out of one of their music concerts in Bangalore,
one can hear the audience humming lilting strains of
‘Desert Blues’ or ‘Align Me’. To date the high points in Antaragni’s
ongoing journey have been winning the Best Vocalist Award
(for Raghu) and Best Lead Instrumentalist Award (for
Bhaskar) during the StrawBerry Fields Rock Competition
held at the National Law School, Bangalore, in December,
1998. ‘Antaragni’ is presently on the lookout for sponsors to launch a full fledged show of their own involving popular musicians and also to get a recording contract. Is anybody out there?!!! |
