Khamira’s music is somewhere between the cinematic scope of the Pat Metheny Group and the grunge funk of Miles Davis’ Seventies band, intertwine with passages of melancholic Welsh folk music and Indian classical virtuosity.Burum has a history as the band has been active since 2007 while they met their Indian counterparts in 2015 on their first tour of India.The members have known each other for quite some time now. The collective even recorded a self-titled album in the summer of 2016.

Suhail Yusuf Khan's virtuosic sarangi dovetails with Tomos Williams' trumpet, Vishal Nagar's tabla joins in a feast of rhythms and syncopations with Mark O'Connor's drum kit, while Aditya Balani's soaring guitar solos are supported by Dave Jones' keyboard and Aidan Thorne's bass.The first stop of the four-city tour is at Delhi, where Khamira plays on January 16, 2018 at British Council, 17, KG Marg.
