Divine Raaga to perform at Phoenix Marketcity

0

Divine Raaga is one of the most loved acts in Bangalore. Their compositions draw influences from multiple genres rooted in Indian music, amalgamated with rock. Their music is known for its soulful rendition, heavenly connect and lyrical depth.

Divine Raaga

Divine Raaga released their very first studio album, I’m Divine Raaga, on the 18th of July, 2014. After years of writing original music, they have come up with 7 of their choicest compositions.

The emphasis in this album has been on story-telling. Each song has a different tale to tell. Most of the songs are based on prominent Raagas of Hindustani classical music, while some are based on different folk forms. But the arrangement is such that it keeps the overall sound of the album as contemporary as you’d like.

Catch their spectacular performance at Phoenix Market City in Bangalore on August 5th from 6:00 pm onward.
