Raāg is a vision - a cry from within; the voice of an ancient, tribal past coming back to life. Raāg is the need to reach back to old magick, while constantly evolving, and changing its musical shape.
The music: Psychedelic sounds, folk instruments, chanting in tongues and murmurs of dark incantations and mantras. A blend of influences; from jazz to traditional world music, psychedelic & ambient
