Dhira is a fusion band whose music draws inspiration from Hindu philosophy and a wide range of musical styles, including hip-hop, electronical, and traditional Hindu music. They are based in Madrid, Spain, but their self-titled first album caught the attention of a major record label, who invited them to perform at S.O.B.'s, a prominent New York nightclub.
The members, all vegetarian, draw inspiration from Hindu culture, and use traditional instruments such as the sitar and Dholak. However their approach to Hinduism is not what one typically associates with the religion. They describe it as "western culture filtered through an Eastern spiritual prism". |
