Natraj seamlessly melds the classical music of India, traditional music from West Africa, and contemporary jazz to create its own adventurous and infectious style. Hard-driving African grooves and graceful Indian ragas meet in the band’s expansive jazz conception. Hailed as Boston’s Best Jazz Band by the Improper Bostonian and nominated Best World Music Act by the Boston Phoenix and in the Boston Music Awards, Natraj captivates and excites audiences with its exotic textures, accessible melodies, and rhythmic energy. “Natraj… the future of jazz… the future of world music… a spellbinding tapestry… a jazz hybrid of celebration and reflection,” raves the Times of India.
