Today and for the first time ever, the Bollywood Masala Orchestra takes you on a journey throughout Northern India, from Rajasthan to Mumbai. Sixteen professional artists, musicians, singers, dancers, acrobats, and fire eaters from Jodhpur, Jaipur, Sikar, Khandela, and Mumbai, travel across the world and carry with them the Indian dance and music of the past and present.

Somewhere between tradition and modernity, from classical spiritual Indian music all the way to the now famous romantic songs of Bollywood, this unique group of artists beats the snares and the bass-drums, mixes together the powerful rhythms of brass instruments (trumpet, clarinet, trombone) with the melodic chords of traditional instruments like tablas, dholaks, harmonium, castagnettes…

The Bollywood Masala Orchestra will take you into a spectacular journey, full of colors, fascinating dances and remarkable traditional costumes, with a fire eater bouncing around on stage among the acrobats ! The Indian musician Rahis Bharti, born and raised in the music and the fabulous tales of his home country, founded the Bollywood Masala Orchestra. He brings through it everything he learned through over twelve years of experiences around the world: show the incredible musical diversity of India, constantly moving forward.
