Bio

BIOGRAPHY
Mukta was founded in 1999 by the double bass player and composer: Simon Mary. Meaning "pearl" in language Sanskrit, Mukta is undoubtedly a group impossible to miss for the amateurs of world jazz, heritage of the fusion formerly initiated by memorable Shakti of John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain. Precursor of "Asian Vibe", mixing India and the jazz, then innovating in a musical adventure flirting with electronic esthetics, Mukta is not easily classified and asserts a music open on the world. The band is the apostle of an unexplored sound geography and creates a fascinating universe where improvisation slips from the compositions. Several tours to the middle east, in Africa, in Canada, in Eastern Europe and in jazz festivals such as Nice, Montreux, Montréal, or the rock festival of Belfort, testify of their rich music. Mukta was nominated twice at the classic and jazz music awards: indeed they perfectly match oriental delights and occidental jazz flavours. After 4 studio albums, among which the scintillating Haveli, lately recorded in India and 10 years of stage performances, MUKTA takes the time of a review on its course with a recording live at Pannonica in Nantes, venue where they played at their debut. The group thus presents new pieces and pieces revisited of their four albums and keeps playing on stage with much energy and passion. Their new album « Invisible Worlds » coming out on the 20th May.
