A true convergence of East and West is embodied in this six-strong ensemble known as Badila. Translated to mean ‘mystical lover’ in Indian, Badila really defines world music in all aspects, from its members to its music and the presentation of the music. Six artists, six traditions, several languages, over 20 instruments all intertwined with the veil of dance.

Delving into the differences the members share and bringing out the similarities, Badila’s performances are reminiscent of a tapestry; weaving together the materials with such intricacy and eventually producing an ethereal work of art.

Badila’s shows have always been noteworthy and have received reviews from such vast bodies as a performance leaving you on a different plane as you appreciate and discover just how deep music can actually be. They have been known to bring hope to people with their music navigating from the roots of the Orient to the world of imagination; a ‘melody of humanity’ as their songs have been described.

Discover music on a different playing field as to what you are accustomed to as their music may either move you to tears, bring the joy to your eyes, leave you breathless, but most of all keep you enraptured through their whole performance.
