  • Bio

    LEHERA is establishing a formidable and award-winning presence in the World Music arena. From North and South Indian Classical Music to Blues, Jazz, Funk, and World Music, they cook up a banquet of modern musical melodies that transport you from delicious toe-tapping riffs to haunting layered soundscapes. With their exotic and unique blend of technique, thought-provoking lyrics, and potent emotional performances, Lehera offers you a spicy masala of song. Serving up their unique flavour and vibe of music ranging from passionate to contemplative, lehera dazzles you with their virtuosity and ambient density. Vocals in English and Classical Indian styles weave with Hindustani slide guitar, violin, and bamboo flutes driven by exciting Ghatam (Clay pot drum), Konnakol (Carnatic drum language), and world percussion instruments peppered with funky and bluesy guitar. A feast for the senses, Lehera's soulful musical delights…feed your body, mind, and spirit. "Lehera was an absolute joy to have at our Festival this past summer. I highly recommend them!" – Doug Cox, Artistic Director, VIMF "Thank you for your passionate and exciting performance. We enjoyed the different angle on world music. Very accessible yet unique!" – Alfredo Caxaj, AD, Sunfest "The music has the rigorous qualities of [Indian] classical music and is also marked with the liberties that make up funk, folk and modern music". – Joyce Janvier-Gagnon – Radio Canada "[Lehera] …has given fusion a different dimension, mixing classical [Indian] with funk and jazz." - The Deccan Herald, India. "I firmly believe in the Lehera project. It has a lot of energy and is well played!" – Dave King, Bassist ( Dizzy Gillespie, Laurie Anderson, Jimmy Smith,Tina Turner, etc.)
