Himalaya is an encounter between East and West.

Indian ragas and jazz, sublimes Bengali vocals, African colours and psychedelic sounds, wonderful dances and fascinating images, atypical instrumental combinations including sitar, harp, saxophone, mridingam, flute, derbuka, guitar, tablas, harmonium, … create a magical universe. Serene meditative atmospheres, intimist climates, strong melodies, intensity and joy, exalting and dancing rhythms contribute to make Himalaya‘s music unique.
