Anand Bhagat (Drum Circle)

Playing in multiple bands at the festival, Anand Bhagat will also be performing as part of a drum circle to get things started at Nariyal Paani 2017. The percussionist from Mumbai has been drumming and conducting workshops to teach drumming for a while now, and is inspired by the power of drums and the effect it can have on people – making them pause and bringing them together

Bellatrix (UK)

Having collaborated with Feyago at Nariyal Paani 2016, the four-time beatboxing champion Bellatrix will be back to conquer the stage all by herself. Unlike most beatboxers, Bellatrix has a degree in jazz double bass from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London. Her broad palette of influences from hip-hop to jazz, folk, and as she says – the downright weird, is apparent across her music and character. She has an unusual and distinctive singing voice and uses live looping with her voice, bass and synth to “conjure images of an abstract world drenched in sounds you can taste”

Coconut Water Band

A musical collective of giants in India’s indie scene, coming together and named so just for the purpose of this music festival: Ankur Tewari, Sidd Coutto, Clayton Hogermeer and Nathan Thomas. This promises to be an absolute treat!
