Mrigya the band

“An Indian band in global village. Where every member of the audience is a citizen of the world. No matter where he comes from, or what he speaks, he understands MRIGYA.”

Mrigya is:

Sharat Chandra Srivastava : Violin Gyan Singh : Tabla/Dholak/Mridangam Rajat Kakkar : Drums/Percussion Indraneel Hariharan : Bass Guitar Sachin Kapoor : Keyboards Karan Sharma : Guitar Qadir Niyazi : Vocals(Sufiana) Sukriti Sen : Vocals(Hindustani)

Mrigya released their first album “The Composition of World Harmony 2010” on 5th of February 2010 at DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj, New-Delhi. Being India and nothing ever starting on time, the gig got delayed by about an hour as the chief guest had not yet arrived. After she arrived the band took the stage with applause from the crowd and started their set with the first track on the album- Ganga. Ganga was Mrigya’s first composition. It is based on raga “Jog” and the song is symbolic of new India, a confluence of tradition and new age. One after the other Mrigya played out each and every song from the album, and it was the first time I heard few of them. When Mrigya neared the end of the set, they asked everyone in the crowd to come closer to the stage. The violinist Sharat stood up and joined Indraneel (bass) and Karan (guitars) in the center of the stage. And thus, began one of the most fantastic jams ever to happen in front of live audience. Mrigya ended the night by playing (Rock the Raag) an extra song for the encore.
