@ganesh.bala stays true to his roots!! A Kuala Lum

@ganesh.bala stays true to his roots!! A Kuala Lumpur native, Indian composer and producer Ganesh Bala is known internationally for his eloquent, neo-traditional music. This is an excerpt from his original piece “Awakening”, performed live at the DPAC Theatre in Kuala Lumpur.

Coming from a family of musicians, Ganesh studied piano at a young age and eventually took up singing and playing multiple instruments such as the tabla, sitar, guitar and drums. He draws inspiration from icons across the musical spectrum, from Herbie Hancock to The Carpenters, Rahman and Debussy. One can describe his music as a fusion of Jazz, Western Classical and Indian Classical. He has performed at multiple venues around Malaysia and will soon be performing in India too! So if you like this song, follow him ~ @ganesh.bala and watch out for his next live gig!
