About Kala Ramnath Indian Classical

Kala Ramnath is the contemporary torch-bearer of the Mewati Gharana, and stands today among the most outstanding instrumental musicians of North India. Born into a unique musical lineage of seven generations straddling the two classical music systems of India, Kala’s genius with the violin manifested itself from early childhood. A pre-eminent disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj, Kala has completely revolutionized violin technique and produces a sound so evocative of North Indian vocal music that today her violin is called "THE SINGING VIOLIN”. A virtuoso of staggering proportions, Kala has performed at all the major music festivals in India, as well as the most prestigious stages throughout the world, including the Sydney Opera House, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and New York’s Carnegie hall to name a few. Kala’s international presence can also be felt through her increasingly frequent appearances on Hollywood film soundtracks including Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar nominated “Blood Diamond”. Kala is at the vanguard of the present generation of young Indian super-stars. She is rigorously trained in the classical tradition yet comfortably forges musical alliances with artists from around the globe incorporating elements of jazz, flamenco and traditional African music into her rich and varied palette.
