Kriya
File under: Finnish-Indian world fusion
Kriya (work/process in Sanskrit) is a unique orchestra whose worldwise reputation is growing fast. The members of Kriya come from various musical backgrounds; Finnish traditional music, rock, and the classical Indian (Hindustani) tradition. One can hear all these influences in their music. Their songs are sung in Finnish and Sanskrit. Indian vocalist Saratji Chatterjee's singing shows a clear quawwali influence. Kriya is a deeply touching and very innovative group of performers. They present a very natural mixture of rock guitar, Pauliina Lerche's accordion and Saratji Chatterjee's singing.
