Inflame

Inflame is a world music fusion band. The band’s name is derived from the two cultures and musical genres it blends, Indian and Flamenco. Four years ago, several musicians got together to discuss music as the common force that connects all beings. Although each came from a different background and race, speaking different languages and born and raised in different environments, the musicians agreed that all those differences reflected in their music could be a powerful medium for connecting with music appreciators around the world-while delivering a fresh new twist and sharing new sound combinations.

Indian and Flamenco music have many differences and similarities. Indian music originated in the Indus Valley, which later became the Indian subcontinent. The main characteristics of Indian music are Raga and Tala, which mean melody and rhythm. One can hear discrete nuances in melodic variations of Indian music. Flamenco music’s main elements are melody, rhythm and harmony. Compositions have distinct moods and many feature variations based on their region of origin. Embracing their diversity, these musicians connect with each other melodically, rhythmically, and spiritually. Inflame’s unique fusion of genres transports listeners through a kaleidoscope of centuries-old culture, music, tradition, and spirituality.
