SUMMARY:Mishra with support from Elsi
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, global-folk band Mishra met international fusion vocalist Deepa Shakthi (formerly Deepa Nair Rasiya). Out of a blossoming musical friendship\, they began a collaborative project that takes the soul-stirring euphoria of Deepa’s sufi singing as a starting point\, and weaves in the threads of Mishra’s UK folk and Indian classical influences to create a captivating cross-cultural sound. Their joyous performances are a journey of contrasts\, from hand-clapping trance-like sufi songs to spacious stillness and reflection. \nMishra are a collective of musicians with a growing reputation for forging a distinctive path through music rooted in diverse traditions. Founded as a duo of Kate Griffin on banjo and vocals and Ford Collier (The Drystones) on low whistle and percussion\, the pair recruited some of the finest musicians exploring the meeting points of world\, folk\, and jazz on the Sheffield music scene: John Ball (Rafiki Jazz) on tabla and santoor\, Joss Mann-Hazell (Auka) on double bass\, and Alex Lyon on clarinets and vocals. Since forming in 2018\, Mishra have won Celtic Connections’ prestigious ‘Danny Kyle’ award\, received BBC Radio 2 airplay for their albums ‘The Loft Tapes’ and ‘Reclaim’\, and performed at festivals including Cambridge Folk Festival\, Beardy\, Timber\, and more. \nOver 30 years of studying Indian music and working across genres under the banner of ‘world music’\, Deepa Shakthi has forged an international reputation as a vocalist and composer\, receiving awards and acclaim in the UK and India. She has worked with artists including Kuljit Bhamra and toured with Opera North’s production of Orpheus. \nSupport is from Elsi. \nDoors and bar 7.00pm\, music 7.15pm.
