Creating a fine blend of traditional music with innovative elements, Jhalaa has proven that Indian classical music is comprised of a universal language, and even though there is a lingual barrier, the compositions can still touch the souls of international music lovers. It goes without saying that the music group is enhancing India’s musical identity in the Global Music Industry.

The musical group Jhalaa is formed with 12 talented members, where 6 of them are women and the rest of them are men. This curated group only performs live with natural instruments, and they have been coached by AR Rahman. Each member of the group is a trained music artist who knows how to perform Indian classical music with a modern edge.

The name ‘Jhalaa’ is also an interesting choice for nomenclature as it is derived from Hindustani classical music, which is referred to as a fast-paced and rhythmic finale. The Toronto performance by Jhalaa is now viral on the internet among the Indian fans. Stay tuned to find out more.
