About Fusion & Trance Performances
When booking our fusion set, please note that we provide the musicians, but the venue must supply the PA system, speakers, and sound technicians. We typically need 30 minutes before the performance for a sound check to balance the electric violin and keyboard levels against the heavy bass of our traditional Chenda drums.
Beyond the Traditional Beat
This is not a standard processional drum set. Our fusion and trance performances are built specifically for the stage and high-energy dance floors. We take the traditional Chenda, the heart of our Kerala heritage, and layer it with electric violin, keyboards, and sometimes saxophone. It is a loud, high-tempo shift that turns a standard wedding event into a concert-style experience.
Why Choose Our Fusion Set?
- Modern Sound: We play popular film covers and high-tempo instrumental tracks that bridge the gap between folk rhythm and modern taste.
- Visual Impact: Unlike our street processions, these stage shows can include coordinated lighting, smoke effects, and a focused setup that demands the audience's attention.
- Interactive Energy: Because we are on stage with melodic instruments, our sets are perfect for Sangeet nights, cocktail parties, and grand receptions where guests are ready to dance.
Important Logistics
- Sound Requirements: Unlike our traditional acoustic processions, the fusion set relies on electronics. We do not bring our own speakers or mixers, so your venue must provide a functional PA system.
- Performance Space: We need a stage or a defined performance area that allows us to set up instruments without interfering with guest seating.
- Artist Composition: A typical fusion team includes 6 traditional percussionists supported by 1 melody lead (violinist or keyboardist).
