Ava Chakravarti

International Music

<p>We've brought together a cadre of Seattle-based veteran musicians and global-sensation performer <a title="Mehnaz" href="http://manooghihi.com/band-member-bios/02/mehnaz-hoosein/" target="_blank"><strong>Mehnaz</strong></a> from Mumbai, known for her hit "Miss India" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5kWfNQuNDE&amp;feature=relmfu">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5kWfNQuNDE&amp;feature=relmfu</a> and created a unprecedented brand of rock-and-roll that seamlessly blends a variety of cultural and artistic histories in to a fluid and seductively powerful combination. You&rsquo;ll experience an honest effort to meld the melodic refinement and rustic mysticism of the East with the instrumentation and musical sensibilities of the West, <strong>spawning a new breed of &ldquo;International Rock&rdquo; that is edgy, distinct, intrinsically diverse and, in a word, breathtaking. </strong>Think <strong><a title="chai wallah" href="http://www.examiner.com/review/chai-wallah-meets-seattle-starbucks" target="_blank">Chai wallah meets Starbucks</a>&nbsp;</strong>(see what the <strong><em>examinier.com</em></strong> said about us.)</p> <p>Following the release of our self-titled debut in 2009 were performances at high-profile events including <strong>"<a title="SXSW" href="http://seattletimes.com/html/musicnightlife/2008931133_sxsw290.html" target="_blank">South By Southwest</a>"</strong> in Austin, Texas and the <strong>"<a title="Sundance" href="http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_mehnaz-hoosein-to-perform-at-sundance-festival_1331991" target="_blank">Sundance Film Festival</a>"</strong> in Park City, Utah. Our unique vibe became vividly clear in live performances as <strong>electric guitars, funky &amp; florid keys and a slamming rhythm section aligned with Mehnaz and Ava&rsquo;s soaring vocal gymnastics</strong>, ranging from lifting and transcendent to blues-heavy and thunderous.</p> <p>After several years of touring the US and experimental writing, we arrived at a new chapter in 2011 with the release of&nbsp;<strong>"<a title="Silence" href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&amp;page=1&amp;rh=n%3A163856011%2Ck%3ASilence%20Manooghi%20Hi" target="_blank">Silence</a>"</strong>, a true testament to this journey. In keeping with our roots and personal truth, the album contains songs that address themes of<strong> evolution, unity, rebirth, and liberation</strong> anchored in deliberate musical content and dedicated purpose.</p>
