Kailasa -- MTV Unplugged Season 2

Kailasa -- MTV Unplugged Season 2



Kailasa is the 7-piece sufi/ rock project founded by popular Bollywood singer Kailash Kher along with brothers Naresh and Paresh Kamath. Born in Meerut and brought up in Delhi, Kher grew up amidst traditional folk music and, at age 14, left his house in search of a guru to further his musical training. Kher is inspired by such music icons as Pandit Kumar Gandharv, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Pandit Gokulotsav Maharaj and Nusrat Fetah Ali Khan, and is largely a self-taught musician. Kher has performed on over 350 Hindi film soundtracks, sung in over eighteen languages for a number of regional Indian films, and recorded more than 500 radio and television advertising jingles. At MTV Unplugged, Barot's renewed arrangements bring out Kailasa's trademark earthy, folk sensibilities while incorporating elements of modern rock/ pop. The set includes smashing hits from Kailasa's earlier works and their latest effort, the 2012 album Rangeele.
