Kinaara

Kinaara take you on a journey that begins in Yorkshire and lands somewhere between North India and the Lower East Side. With bluesy electric guitar by John Hogg, Indian vocals by Satnam Galsian and jazz drumming by Simon Henry, you will hear Punjabi language songs alongside Celtic songs presented in Kinaara's own urban electric arrangements. Nominated for 'Best Indie Act' 2021 by Radio Wigwam, Kinaara have been playing to enthusiastic audiences in the North of England with a standout performance at the prestigious Musicport festival last year. Tracks from their debut EP 'Across The River' have been featured on Global Roots and Alabaster Depume on Worldwide FM, legendary DJ Ritu’s A World In London and John Cavanagh's Soundwave. ‘….a folky feel, a hint of jazz, a dose of rock.’ ‘….something that is both a fusion and something not of any of those things – a new musical form.’ Local Sound Focus ‘….Kinaara are not simply an East meets West outing, Kinaara are discovering bonds at the heart of two cultures and they invite us to celebrate this through their music.’ John Boocock
