JAZZ –WORLD FUSION BAND ‘MOONARRA’ FROM BANGALORE
MoonArra means means ‘Three Streams.’  It’s about our fascination with beautiful sounds that emanate the world over, how sounds travelled from Northern India in the 13th century, journeyed through Persia, Morocco, and up to Andalucian Spain. Formed in 2006, the band is inspired by Carnatic and Hindustani classical, the rhythmic and harmonic quality of jazz and a thousand other songs that we’ve grown up with. It’s a celebration of the human spirit – a journey that has no destination. MoonArra is a world fusion band on a mission to discover ourselves through our music.
Line up
Jagadeesh M.R- Guitars, Oud, composer and founder.
Madhuri  – Singer songwriter and co founder
K.N.Prakash – Electric Bass
