Sameer Gupta will offer a new direction in musical possibilities with his Motéma Music debut, "NAMASKAR," an organic creative musical experience which bridges classical Indian melodies and modern American jazz. Gupta's working band - which includes Motéma label-mate Marc Cary (piano, laptop) is a breath of fresh air in the world of global fusion: fusing classic songs from the traditions of Indian Raga music, Bollywood and American Jazz, with arrangements that unite these songs into one distinctive sound, drawn from experiences that reflect the musicality of these international artists with passion, intelligence and beauty.
