I found this band ‘Hamsadhwani’ video on Orkut. They performed the song "Nagumomo and Mahaganapatim" at the sunday jam which happens every month in Bangalore.

This blend was so perfect and rocking! I loved every inch of their jam. The essence of carnatic music lasts and so does the elements of rock in it. I appreciate that they use so many indian instruments as well like Ganjeera and Tabla. I became their fan the moment i heard them singing. Great going guys!!!!!

This is Mahaganapatim from the same badnd "Hamsadhwani" :)

I am glad to listen to and see something like this happen here in Benagaluru lol~… where everyone goes on ga-ga over western music and a little over ours, but when work is put out like this where it is brought together, it makes everyone happy.. like me~!!!!!  :D We have so much in our history of music in India, where the new generation has opened a few and bought it to lime light, but there is so much more we could actually discover from our roots.

I would surely like to hear more from this band as well as such passionate artist in our own city….. I GUESS SOON WE SHOULD HAVE A JAM FOR FSUION of such sort or something………
