Alms For Shanti

On their official website the band introduction reads: "alms for shanti is a walk down the less trod path. it's a project of the indian sound in conjunction with contemporary styles and was created to take the sound further, as far as it goes, amalgamating traditional indian melodies, textures and rhythms with western sounds and applications, a culmination of sorts of our collaborations with some of india's finest classical musicians over the past few years. this band is a deeper exploration of our experiences melding eastern and western philosophies and ideas through music.
