The two-combine eclecticism with a curiously contemporary take on traditional folk songs from the land of Punjab. Their sound is ambitious and unique blend of folk music fused with ambient Electronica. Hari & Sukhmani’s music resonates with their soulful sincere and cultured touch. Born of an inherently classical and folk contour it can touch the deepest cords of a crowd, traversing the enigmatic solemnity of all that makes India and its music closer to the outside world now than ever before. Spiraling from the city of Chandigarh in India, Hari & Sukhmani are a young and ambitious duo who plan to take Punjabi folk music from the yester-years into the future, from New Delhi to New York.
