Bhadra Collective

The Bhadra Collective is composed of seasoned musicians who explore contrasts: electric and eclectic, world music with a danceable energy, familiar songs re-imagined, plus contemporary music that borrows from tradition. The word ‘Bhadra’ is a Sanskrit adjective meaning ‘blessed, fortunate, prosperous, happy and loving.’ The Collective strives to project these qualities in their lyrical content, infectious rhythms, and playful performances. They are dedicated to engaging an audience in interactive exchanges - everything from call-response sing-alongs to moving to the beat. Their sound has been described as quirky and catchy. The Bhadra Collective draws upon their love of music-making as a community experience. Be prepared to become part of the band.
