Meet Murshid: Our 14-Piece Live Music Ensemble
Forget tracks and recordings. My 14-member band, Murshid, brings the raw, unfiltered power of live instrumentation—tabla, dholak, drums, and guitars—directly to your stage.
A quick look at some of the talented musicians in my band, Murshid. From the powerful beats of the drum kit to the intricate rhythms of the tabla, every member is a master of their craft.
This is where the magic happens. Our master percussionists mixing dholak and tabla with modern drums during a performance of "Dumadum Mast Qalandar" to create an explosive rhythm section.

About Meet Murshid: The Live Band Experience
When you hire a 14-piece ensemble, your venue's technical capabilities matter. We do not use pre-recorded tracks, so ensuring your stage has the right power supply and space for our full drum kit, percussion setup, and monitors is essential for the clean, rich sound we are known for.
Music is not just my profession, it is my taleem (training). When we perform as Murshid, we are not just musicians playing songs, we are 14 people creating a conversation with the audience. Many wedding bands rely on backing tracks or pre-mixed DJ setups, but that kills the soul of a live performance. My team brings the authentic sound of live percussion—tabla, dholak, drums—and melodic instruments like guitars and keyboards to every event.
Whether we are performing a high-energy Sufi-fusion set or a seated ghazal evening, you will see us in matching, professional attire, ready to elevate the vibe of your venue. Because we are a large ensemble, planning is key. We coordinate closely with your AV vendor to ensure the tech rider is met. Whether it is a grand reception in Delhi or a destination wedding, we bring the same passion and the same 14-piece strength to ensure every guest feels the energy. When you book us, you are booking a complete musical experience, not just a performance.
