RAGA & RESONANCE ~ Bhakti & Beats with Shivam Rath

From Indian Classical Raga to Bhakti & Beats

Shivam Rath + 🎶 Featuring Special Guest Artists

Rosie Rayah Light ~ Vocals, Sitar & Devotional Song

Massimo Bidin ~ Tabla

What happens when ancient Raga meets a devotional dance floor?

Join us for a special evening where Indian Classical Raga, Kirtan, Bhakti and live electronic music come together in an evolving journey of sound, rhythm and movement.

Beginning in the traditional world of Raga and Kirtan, Shivam Rath brings his unique blend of Crystal Slide, vocals, electronic Tabla and live looping, joined by special guest musicians.

As the evening unfolds, the music gradually transforms.

Acoustic instruments become loops.

Mantra becomes rhythm.

Raga meets bass.

Ancient musical traditions meet modern music production.

TRADITION ~ TRANSFORMATION ~ DANCE

Starting with traditional Raga and Kirtan, we gradually open into a deeper rhythmic journey of Bhakti & Beats ~ inviting you to listen, chant, move, dance and experience the music in your own way.

The journey eventually returns to Resonance ~ bringing the room back towards mantra, voice and stillness.
