Irish musicians have never been slow to absorb ethnic elements into the ever evolving language of music, and since their debut performance in 1995, Khanda have been creating an eclectic sound that truly embraces the world of music, weaving a rich tapestry of sound and rhythm which draws its inspiration from Ireland, Spain, North Africa and The Balkans to stunning effect. The recent addition of genre defying accordionist Peter Browne adds another vital element to Khanda's unique fission of Irish music and the influences of the Indian subcontinent and beyond.
This performance brings together some of Ireland's leading jazz and traditional musicians, forging a dynamic language that transcends language and borders. Drawing on the melodic strength of Irish music, the rhythmic character of its Indian counterpart and embracing the improvisational instinct of jazz, this promises to be an exhilarating musical dialogue.
"Khanda was formed to give us an opportunity to play music which we enjoy but wouldn't normally have an opportunity to play. Though the tunes come from many sources, and the musicians from different disciplines, our music represents our experiences both individually and collectively." Martin Nolan
