Listen! Nobody on earth sounds like Khamira.
Musicians from Wales and India create Improvised World Music – mixing Hindustani Classical music and Welsh folk music with jazz. Unique, alive, groundbreaking. The Sarangi sings with the trumpet, the tabla dances with the drums while the guitar soars over the bass. Miles Davis, Hindustani classical, Llio Rhydderch, Pat Metheny, Sufi singing, Welsh folk, Shakti, konnakol, rock, Tomas Stanko, jazz, it’s all in there. Their music contains multitudes and transcends continents… Come with us on our journey!
Khamira first came together in 2015, touring India playing The Goa Jazz Festival, Kolkata JazzFest, Bangalore and New Delhi. They self-released their eponymous debut album in 2017, and their second album Undod/Unity was released by Tŷ Cerdd in 2022. Both albums received widespread acclaim and signalled the arrival and the maturing of an important new musical voice.
Khamira return to The Lost ARC for the third time on Friday October 17th 2025 after previous visits on their 2022 and 2023 tours of Wales. Anyone who was at those gigs can attest to the incredible musicianship on show and the power of the collaboration across cultures.
Khamira’s music is somewhere between the cinematic scope of the Pat Metheny Group and the grunge funk of Miles Davis’ 70s band, inter-twinned with passages of melancholic Welsh folk music and Indian classical virtuosity.
“Blurring the edges of genres and cultures here feels entirely organic… fifty-five minutes of extensive, instrumental splendour”
