Maati Baani (India)

Maati Baani is what happens when the folk meets contemporary. The brainchild of Kartik Shah and Nirali Kartik, Maati Baani literally means the 'the languages of Earth'. They often include vernacular verses of Kabir, Bulleh Shah, Mirabai and many other poets to produce songs that range of a spectrum of emotions. Their Music is a blend of Rustic folk, Sufism, and different genres of World Music with Hindustani Classical, Funk and New age sounds.

Their live music performances are known for their exceedingly energetic sets that make the audience a part of their musical journey. They've performed in festivals/venues like Bacardi NH 7 Weekender, World Sufi Spirit Festival, Blue Frog and many other international festivals like Holland India Festival, Chalo Gujarat(New Jersey) and Kala Utsavam (Singapore).

Maati Baani’s main forte is collaboration and their live act is an extension of the same collaborative spirit. They feature the best folk and fusion artistes of the country in their act and also occasionally International musicians.
