NADAKA was born in Quebec and has been living in India since 1974. In Sanskrit, Nada is the origin of sound and Ka is the one who carries it within. Dedicated to the ideals of India's great revolutionary yogi, Sri Aurobindo, he lives in the international settlement of Auroville, in South India. His love and passion for Indian culture led him to study its music, learn different Indian instruments and vocal styles. He conceived and crafted a unique instrument of his own; a guitar specially designed to play the subtle tones of Indian music.With a number of successful albums to his credit, Nadaka has been touring with many acclaimed Indian musicians. Inspired by Indian rhythms and Ragas, he carries us through his unique musical world that is both modern and rich in tradition.
