Shastriya Syndicate

Sense World Music has always been at the forefront when it comes to the development of new musical projects and the crossing of boundaries, so when Purbayan brought his Shastriya Syndicate to us we felt it was a project that could excite and move listeners and concert goers worldwide.

The Syndicate compositions draw on the rich cultural heritage which has helped produce fantastic music from both the North and South of the Indian subcontinent; the music keeps the purity of its heritage but also sometimes fuses both traditions in a fresh and inspiring way.

The musicians involved in the Syndicate are some of the greatest masters of their generation and the combinations of musicians and instruments are extremely well matched with respect to their personal chemistry and tonality. All this lends itself to great recordings, fantastic concerts and a healthy future for the group.

This inspired band is set to win the hearts of established listeners and a new world music audience with its heady mix of absolutely authentic Indian classical music presented in an exciting format.
