The Nordanians

A steaming triple engine from Amsterdam North, the hottest part of town When Oene van Geel (viola), Mark Tuinstra (guitar) and Niti Ranjan Biswas (tabla virtuoso) played together for the first time there where immediately fireworks, roaring u-turns and cinematic tearjerkers. Then they started writing songs together based on traditional ragas, smashing funk and delicate chamber music. This gave them a great new impulse on stage for even more interaction and improvisation and made them build a rocking live reputation.

Their first CD ‘Tabla Rasa’ was released in 2011 and gave them a lot of exposure in the press and gigs in the Netherlands and abroad.
