The Band...The Dreams...

In the Fall of 2006, amongst a diverse group of students from India that joined UIUC, came five 'young' gentlemen from different parts of the country to pursue doctoral studies in their respective fields. It was almost a year later when, at an informal social gathering, they discovered a mutual passion for music and Anubhooti was born!

Anubhooti primarily plays Indian music – both in traditional as well as modern form. Through our music, we aspire to represent the culture of the Indian sub-continent. The band comprises 5 musicians, playing different musical instruments. With traditional Indian instruments like the violin and tabla, Anubhooti’s music is representative of the Indian Classical music. Combining these with traditional western instruments like the acoustic guitar, drums and the keyboard, Anubhooti’s music attempts to present Indian music in its pure and popular form.

Believing only in what sounds good, Anubhooti does not restrict itself to any particular form, genre or era of music. The journey has just begun and there is so much to explore - to recreate and possibly to create something new some day.

Anubhooti is a confluence; Anubhooti is energy; Anubhooti is a whole new experience unto itself!
