Across Borders

Cross-cultural collaborations

This music has always travelled — from South Asia to the dance halls of Paris and back again. Collaboration isn’t a side project for us; it’s the tradition itself.

Roma Roots

Tracing the road home

Gypsy jazz was born of Roma musicians whose ancestors left South Asia centuries ago. We study that migration — its rhythms, its songs, its stories — and bring what we learn back to the music.

Valley Voices

Old songs, new swing

With singers and folk musicians of the Kathmandu Valley, we re-set classics from Narayan Gopal and the golden generation — Nepal Bhasa and Nepali lyrics carried on la pompe.

Visiting Artists

Guests at the hot club

Touring players who pass through Kathmandu are welcome at our table. A borrowed violin, a new tune, one rehearsal — then the stage. Some of our favourite sets began that way.
