YODHAKAA{meaning -warriors} is a modern day Indian Musical Band that combines SANSKRIT SLOKAS with diverse musical backgrounds.

The entire album is about celebration of Carnatic music with a twist and amalgamating them with the broader spectrum of emotions, imagination and verve.

The album has eight songs. Each one having an interesting mix of musical instruments and variation makes it an exquisite.

Especially the song; “Vasudevo Sutham” is a show stopper
The song has varied pace. A combination of slow melody that gradually picks up during the second half with pulsating celebration of sorts (Amazing mix of clarinet and percussion instruments add grandeur to this number)

Overall the album is definitely a different approach to Indian Music.
Will this composite win over commercial Cinema Music …
YODHAKAA – A relaxing and rejuvenating mix for music lovers
