ganavya is a vocalist and composer whose transcendent and fluent music brings the Hindu storytelling tradition of harikatha into the twenty-first century. 2024's Daughter of a Temple, released on Leiter, offered a deeply moving blend of spiritual jazz and South Asian devotional music. It was quickly followed up by 2025's Nilam, where, again, ganavya's sincere vocals lead listeners into a warm world of song where jazz, traditional, and folk instruments concatenate and murmur together softly. Her words, sung with incredible mastery, are so subtle and sensitive yet so clearly powerful and complex. Her music is controlled and wistful, never veering off the rails or fraying too far from its path – yet the path it walks is entirely its own. Inspired by what she terms the "musico-philosophies" of Alice Coltrane, ganavya's fusion music is spiritual and contemplative, offering listeners a slow, meditative experience much-needed in these times of utter acceleration.
