Manish Vyas, Fusion Music with an Indian Soul
Artist: MANISH VYAS
Manish Vyas was born in Gujarat, India and has been learning and teaching music since his youth, which he learnt through the years with different pandits (maestros) he met along the way since his childhood in India, and along his musical and spiritual journey. He is composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher - he plays tabla and other percussions, santoor, harmonium, piano, keyboard. Along his musical and spiritual path, he has composed hundreds of songs, mainly in the devotional, mystical and sufi genres. He has released 15 albums of music, from mantras to sufi, dance, easy-listening and instrumental based on Indian musical structures and Ragas. He has also contributed to dozens of other musicians productions with his compositions, distinctive voice and instruments. His concerts, workshops and retreats offer the perfect blend of Indian genuine sounds merged with a touch of fusion, which makes his music so accessible and appreciated by all type of listeners in the search of eastern sounds. When we talks about "fusion" in Indian music, it refers to the incorporation of contemporary elements, but the quality and essence of Indian music remains untouched.
He currently lives in Switzerland, since he got married recently. Having been the coordinator of the music in an Ashram in South India for many years, his music and presence are often said to bring people in a state of inner silence, both through the techniques shared and through the music - which has its soul in ancient India. He collaborates with his music for retreats and concerts in India every time he goes back, at least once a year. Right now he is wrapping up his 2018 release, an album called Mangalam which is a treasure of fusion sacred music, presented once more with the authenticity of Indian music, with a contemporary touch.
