This trio is one of its kind, creating a unique blend of sounds, at once deeply connected to ancient traditions and still pulsing with the present.
Sukhad Munde is son of one of India’s greatest pakhawaj players, the most ancient drum of North Indian Classical Music. He learned to speak the pakhawaj language at the same time a child learns to speak, and hence plays with the ease that one speaks one’s mother tongue.
Virginia & Igino too, learned music from childhood, training first in Western Classical music. When their paths crossed their musical journey led them to India, where they studied for over 10 years. They trained in Bansuri flute and Dhrupad singing and started to explore this music on their western instruments too. This has led them to create a unique and dynamic expression of the traditional principles as Raga (melodic modes of Indian classical music) and tala (rhythm cycles).
When Sukhad meets the Samvad duo, ancient music and contemporary timbres, east and west blend into an explosion of sounds which are at once meditative and groovy.
Samvad & Sukhad met in 2009 in Mumbai in the backstage of their first shared concert together with the Gundecha Brothers. They immediately liked each other and started a collaboration. They have performed together in several music festivals in India and are now bringing their music to Europe.
