The essence of a band lies not only in the music it makes, but also the experience it creates. When this experience is extraordinary, one cannot deny the electrifying rush that floods the bones. The strength of the beat filling the mind, body & soul. And the true beauty of it all? The basic elements of a great band are quite uncomplicated. From cd’s to concerts, videos to internet, and articles to interviews, when all the sights and sounds are stripped away – at the heart of every great band are three simple, but vital ingredients: solid musicianship, genuine friendship, and a collective vision. This is En Karma...
WEST COAST BHANGRA
Vancouver B.C.’s premier bhangra band En Karma embodies a uniqueness that is rare amid the global bhangra scene. The boys of En Karma – Ravi (dhol), Pip (drums), JP (dholak), Rick (bass) Nick (keys) and Inder (vocals) are all exceptional musicians in their own right. They write, record, and play everything as a collective, collaborating with only the select few who share their vision. Together, they have created a sound that strikes the perfect balance between traditional bhangra and contemporary fusion. You will find elements of rock, reggae and R&B in En Karma’s music, but from the backbone of bhangra they never stray.
YES that's absolutely a great idea we should discuss it -
there have been plans about us coming to Vancity for VIBC 2010 as well.
We're doing fine, our CD is going to be out in Autumn, and we've been working with G. Mall on some of the tracks. He's a great guy to work with and he wants to come over and shoot a video with us next month, so I'm kind of in a hurry to put a video team together in a short notice...
Hey hows it going, check out the promo to my debut single featuring Sarbjit Saab. Make sure you leave comments and tell me how it is. Thanks and take care.
