Join the FunKaars as they light up the vibe at Canberra’s largest art gallery with Bollywood fusion jass music.
Funkaars means ‘Artists’ in Hindi and they’ve set out to create exciting musical experiences of Eastern and Western cultural fusion. Based in Canberra, the newly formed band play a range of instruments from dobro to saxophone to tabla, an expressive sound world with vocals in English and Indian languages.
Led by Mumbai-born Karisha Shah, Funkaars add peppy Bollywood jazz covers mashed up with American jazz, Indian and middle Eastern folk music with classical, cultural and spiritual influences.
Since performing in her homeland of India to Florida where she was awarded Voice of Florida in 2008, Karisha has teamed up with a diverse mix of talented musicians in Canberra, who most recently performed together at the National Multicultural Festival as well as The Street Theatre in Canberra. Her music speaks to the issues of women today and romantic relationships in our lives.
Bringing the beauty of the vast Indian subcontinental culture to Canberra, join Funkaars for a unique, energetic and enlightening Diwali experience.
