MAHARAJA is a group which combines leading musician tribal castes from the desert of Rajasthan in northwest India. Maharaja has performed at hundreds of concerts worldwide and dazzled audiences with an energetic hybrid of Indian music, acrobatics and dance. Founded in 1995 (originally named 'Musafir'), this group gathers musicians, poets and shamans who in Rajasthan would not play together, but here create an exciting fusion of North Indian folk, classical, Arabic, sufi trance and crossover styles that create an eclectic aesthetic. On the first Gypsy Caravan tour, they discovered the richness of flamenco and have since begun a side project, Maharaja Flamenca, which performs on this tour with Antonio El Pipa.
