Nyasa, a Pune-based LIVE band, is a volatile cocktail of creativity with expression of pure, unalloyed joy and manifestation of the innerself. The band blends folk-filled melodies within hard and heavy beats. They say, “It’s not just music, man,” and its quite right. This group of five is unbeatable in its forte; Nilesh creates original sounds with thumping energy while Anup, with his Sufi-rich textures, pulls the notes towards the metaphysics. Vaibhav on the guitars is amplified. Yogesh, on percussions, brings in with him the experience to deliver the distinction in the sound, which every band strives to achieve. Pankaj and his drums transform the experience from an intellectual exercise to the raw energy and pump of quintessential rock. Nyasa unleashes a distinctive vibe in their performances, straining and blurring boundaries once thought sacrosanct.
