Bollywood Strings was created in 1999, inspired by
Europe's growing interest in crossover music and our
desire to launch a dynamic group of musicians
accomplished in all "Bollywood" styles of
music, especially the STRINGS.
The
group is led by violinist Chandru who has worked with the likes of Nitin Sawhney, Talvin Singh, Ravi Shanker, George Harrison, Bjork, Tina Turner, Britney and many others and has made a name as one of UK's foremost Bollywood string arrangers.
Our group is versatile and performs crossover east-west music intimately with up to 6 musicians(violin, tabla, guitar, keyboards & vocal) or with the full shebang of live Bollywood violists and other string players, notably at the Barbican several years ago and many summer festivals in the UK.
Bollywood Strings is also associated to flamenco music through the album 'Yerbaguena' with Gypsy maestro Pepe
Habichuela and has performed together live all over
Europe. One other fantastic collaboration that we specialise in is violin, tabla and DJ which we have performed at many clubs in the UK.
