Shanka Tribe

Hailing from Kerala, Shanka Tribe is a natural trance band that channels the rich cultural heritage and inner turbulence of our ancestors.
Their music blends various styles and genres, experimenting with human emotions through chants, sounds, and tribal instruments. Each performance begins with the blowing of the Shankh, purifying our souls and surroundings. Our music conveys deep, resonant emotions that awaken the listener's soul to a higher purpose.

Shanka Tribe has a unique style of instrumentation. The tribal grooves from Africa (Djembe), the aboriginal vibrations from indigenous Australia (Didgeridoo), the soul-touching vibes from Switzerland (Handpan), the king of string instruments from the Middle East (Oud), the rhythmic patterns from Africa and Latin America (Conga, Bongos), the melodic resonance from Hawaii (Ukulele), the rustic tones from Rajasthan, India (Morchang), and the distinctive beats from the Middle East (Darbuka).

Notesic

Notesic is a compilation of some of our industry’s most exciting and in-demand musicians. The band has been dazzling audiences and lighting up dance floors across the Indian subcontinent. Notesic has become well-known for its exceptional talent and high-octane performances, and as a result, it is now one of the busiest groups for festivals and corporate events.
