Biography

Prem Joshua's funky, downtempo, Indo-Global grooves pulse around the clock in Goa's eternal twilight. Uniting the essence of Indian raga with infectious, lush electronica, Ahir reveals why the Times of India dubbed Prem Joshua "the guru of 21st century world fusion music ." With Ahir, multi-instrumentalists and composers Prem Joshua and Chintan harvest the creative fruits of a 15-year musical partnership. Drawing on material from their recent world tours and travels through India, they take Prem Joshua's signature modern raga sound into exciting new terrain, resulting in a true masterpiece of fresh and inspired global music. ABOUT PREM JOSHUA At 18, Prem Joshua saw Ravi Shankar perform and his life was changed forever. He spent the next 20 years in India, mastering the sitar and learning the traditions of Indian music. As his own style developed, he blended Eastern styles and instruments with Western Jazz forms using Indian flutes, sax, electronica and tarana-style (wordless) vocals. Already considered a master musician in India, where he has sold nearly 100,000 records, Prem Joshua is building audience--and buzz--with every new album, and is poised to take North America by storm.
