Soul Yatra

Soul Yatra is a journey through the smooth, cool, bluesy and hip genre of jazz. Bianca's smoky and sultry vocals, Ashton's new-age vibes on saxophone and flute, Colin's funky grooves on fretless bass, Mukul's rhythmic exuberance on drums and percussion and Merlin's wizardry on keyboards makes Soul Yatra the trip you've always wanted to take!

The heart of Soul Yatra, Merlin, put together some of the hottest talent in Mumbai to form a jazz ensemble to gig internationally. The Yatra or journey, winds its way through the global sounds of jazz fueled by strong influences of soul, r&b, funk, blues, latin, afro-cuban, hip-hop and Indian classical music. Very often, their versions of jazz standards reveal elements of the Indian classical raag and taal. Besides standards, the band's repertoire includes original indo-jazz-funk compositions.
