Karsh Kale

London-born and New York-raised Karsh Kale balances his Indian heritage with rock 'n' roll, hip hop and atmospheric pop. He has worked with a talented cast of collaborators including MC Napoleon and vocalist Trixie Reiss (The Crystal Method), film composer Salim Merchant (one half of the "it" Bollywood composer team, Salim-Sulaiman), and Dierdre (Ekova). Karsh Kale (pronounced Kursh Kah-Lay) has spent much of the past five years watching music critics try to describe his music as some kind of hybrid of Eastern and Western, or traditional and electronic. And it's true that his early goal of bringing Indian classical music into the Western mainstream pop led him to create some genre-busting global electronic music. Like his contemporary, Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A., Kale has found a way to incorporate his roots into a thoroughly modern context.
