YANTRA is the unusual project of three singers from very different backgrounds, united by their passion of unaccompanied human voice. Born from an experimental session for BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction in 2009, YANTRA’s vocal focal point is the intersection of seemingly incompatible and incomparable singing traditions. Combining the purity of a cappella with modern multi-tracking recording techniques, their rich vocal fusion explores the spiritual and folkloric music from the traditional and ancient musical heritage of Bulgaria, India and England.
YANTRA were special guests on BBC Radio 3′s Late Junction with Verity Sharp and The Choir with Aled Jones. In 2014 YANTRA released their debut album A Journey Through Timelessness, followed by a very successful joint tour of Japan with Perunika Trio.
