Shades of Shakti is an intercultural ensemble that weaves together the soul of Indian classical music with the freedom of jazz and the finesse of Western composition. Their performances are a mesmerising dance of intricate melodies, propulsive rhythms, and the deep musical connection shared between artists from different corners of the world.

Formed in 2018 for the Wellington Jazz Festival, the group has since earned standing ovations across Aotearoa, including at the New Zealand Festival of the Arts and Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival. Their repertoire spans original works, traditional Indian ragas, and iconic pieces from Ravi Shankar’s East Meets West and John McLaughlin’s Shakti—the album that first inspired the band’s name and vision.

With a lineup featuring tabla master Basant Madhur, jazz guitarist and composer Justin Firefly Clarke, genre-hopping violinist Tristan Carter, and dynamic drummer Thomas Friggens, Shades of Shakti offers a live experience that is as technically breathtaking as it is emotionally resonant.

This is music without borders—uplifting, uniting, and utterly unforgettable.

“A truly astounding masterclass in the art of musical fusion.” – Rob Harbers
“The ultimate blend of authenticity and virtuosity.” – Chris Gee
“One of those rare ensembles that transcend into the sonic stratosphere.” – Bret McKenzie
