Delhi-based band Kitanu out with an EP
The Hindu
The band members speak about the sound of the sarod in their music and why they prefer to remain genre-fluid
When singer Siddhant Sarkar watched a video of Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ being played on sarod, he envisioned this exotic Indian instrument playing a role in electronic music. He approached Rohan Prasanna, who’s trained in sarod, to jam with him and his musician friends. Thus was born the five-member band Kitanu in 2017 consisting of guitarists Omkar Raghupatruni, drummer Guru Ganapathi and bassist Arman Handa apart from Siddhant and Rohan.
The recently-released eponymous three-track EP, according to the band, is a mix of “folksy, trippy sound of a sarod to influences of jazz, funk, rock & roll, blues, metal and bossa nova”
