Question 4

What makes Kendraka stand out from other fusion bands?

Accepted Answer

Two words: **Mainak Chowdhury**. He's the nucleus—which is what 'Kendraka' literally means in Sanskrit. His vision drives the band. But it goes deeper. Dissatisfied with existing instruments to express his Indian roots, he *created* a new one: the Maitrayee bass guitar. That's not just playing music; that's innovating for the sake of art. This dedication to authentic expression is what separates them.

Question 5

What kind of music can I expect? Is it all jazz?

Not at all, and that's the beauty of it. They call it contemporary Indian jazz fusion, which is a mouthful, but it basically means they pull from a wide palette. You'll hear the intricate rhythmic patterns of Indian classical music—thanks to Mainak's konnakol compositions—blended with the improvisational freedom of jazz. Then you have Sudipto Banerjee on keyboards adding modern textures, Sibaji Paul's dynamic drumming, and Debalina Bhowmick's soulful vocals. It’s a sonic conversation between different worlds, creating something entirely new and captivating for a general audience.
