Indo-Welsh world music band Khamira are delighted to be featured at Llais Festival to celebrate their 10^th anniversary as one of Wales' premier cross-cultural projects.

Comprising 3 musicians from Wales and 3 from India, Khamira perform 'Improvised World Music' - Hindustani classical music, jazz, Welsh folk, rock and deep grooves all blend seamlessly to create an unique world fusion.

For this special performance at Llais, Khamira will also be joined by two unique and powerful Welsh voices: Amruta Garud, and Eadyth Crawford.

Khamira have performed worldwide from India to South Korea since their inception in 2015, playing at festivals as divers as Goa JazzFest, Hay Literature Festival, Seoul Music Week and most recently headlined the Kolkata Jazz Festival in December 2024. 

Khamira's music is real world-fusion - imagine the cinematic scope of the Pat Metheny Group and the grunge funk of Miles Davis' 70s band inter-twinned with passages of melancholic Welsh folk music and Indian classical virtuosity.

Suhail Yusuf Khan's sarangi and vocals dovetails with Tomos Williams' trumpet, Vishal Nagar's tabla dances with Mark O'Connor's deep drum grooves while Aditya Balani's guitar soars over Aidan Thorne's relentless bass lines.
