Sur means sound, tarang means wave.
Surtarang is a fusion of tradition and modernity, East and West, mysticism and club energy. Their work is inspired by oriental music, primarily Indian. In their compositions the band uses traditional instruments such as the sitar, tabla, saz and darbuka, blending their organic sounds with modern electronics. Their music features influences of EDM, trance and dub. The whole experience is complemented by mystical vocals and mantras that take listeners on a journey not only through sound but also through emotions and spirituality.
Their debut album “Duniya” was released in February 2021, followed by their second album “Yatra” in 2022. The band has played nearly 200 concerts at festivals and clubs throughout Poland and abroad, including the Ostróda Reggae Festival, Las Festival, Summer Contrast, Simbiosa, Wibracje, Stacja Wolimierz, Uroczysko, Pyramid Festival, Ufo Bufo Festival and many others.
The band is also expanding its international activities. Last year, the artists toured India and established collaborations with local musicians. This trip has led to plans for joint releases that will further combine traditional Indian sounds with European electronic music.
Surtarang creates energetic, hypnotic concerts and musical narratives that connect cultures and build a shared experience between the stage and the audience.
