Ragleela

Ragleela is an award-winning world music group that unifies the rich heritage of Indian Music and melody with modal occidental music and harmony.  In their original compositions, the sitar tells melodic stories over densely woven guitar patterns, lush violin lines and the grooves of both Indian tablas and world percussion.  

Their dynamic concerts across Canada have left audiences of all ages and styles enchanted and inspired by the lyrical power of their unique musical fusion.

Ragleela was first founded in India in 1990 by sitar maestro Uwe Neumann.  Upon his arrival to Montreal in 2000, he was joined by the guitarist Jean-Marc Hébert and the tablist Shankar Das, thus Ragleela was reborn.  The 2002 album « Caravan » garneted rave reviews in the Montreal press and Ragleela performed since in a wide array of venues.  With their new album « Jai Ma », the members of Ragleela are set out to carry away world music lovers and festival goers into exotic bliss.

Ragleela is Uwe Neumann, Jean-Marc Hébert, Bertil Schulrabe, Marie-Soleil Bélanger, and Eric Breton.
