The Art of Musical Fusion: Where Tradition Meets Innovation
The Fusion Instrumental Groups from Krishna Music School, Pushkar bring together the soul of Rajasthan's folk instruments with Indian classical ragas and the energy of global modern sounds. Imagine the earthy rhythms of nagada and khartal, flowing into the melodic grace of the sitar and harmonium, and blending seamlessly with the guitar, keyboard, cajón, and world percussion. This isn't superficial mixing—it's a deep conversation between musical traditions where each enhances the others.
What Makes Our Fusion Unique
Authentic Mastery, Not Superficial Mixing
Our musicians are formally trained in Rajasthani folk traditions (5-10 years), Hindustani classical ragas & talas (10+ years), AND Western music theory. We don't just play instruments together—we understand how traditions can harmonize to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
Three-Layer Fusion Philosophy
Layer 1: Rajasthani folk foundation (earthy, rhythmic grounding). Layer 2: Indian classical melodic depth (raga sophistication). Layer 3: Global modern context (universal accessibility). These layers don't compete—they converse in musical dialogue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes fusion different from just playing multiple instruments?
True fusion requires deep mastery of multiple musical traditions. Our musicians are formally trained in Hindustani classical (10+ years), Rajasthani folk traditions, AND Western music theory. We understand how ragas, talas, and scales harmonize with Western chord progressions and global rhythms. The result is seamless blending where traditions enhance rather than clash.
Can international audiences enjoy the performance?
Absolutely! That's the beauty of fusion. While rooted in Indian traditions, we incorporate familiar Western instruments (guitar, piano, drums) and universal musical elements. We provide bilingual hosting explaining cultural context. 70% of our bookings are for international audiences—they consistently rate us 4.8+/5 stars.
Can you learn specific songs we request?
Yes, with advance notice. For songs in our existing repertoire, we adapt arrangements. For completely new songs, we need 4-6 weeks to create fusion arrangements and rehearse. Custom arrangement fee: ₹10,000-20,000 per song depending on complexity.
How loud/energetic is the performance?
Highly customizable! We design sets based on your needs: (1) Ambient/Dinner Background—soft acoustic, conversational volume. (2) Featured Performance—moderate volume, seated listening. (3) Dance Floor Energy—full amplification, high tempo, party mode. We can transition between these within a single event.
Do you perform fully acoustic or amplified?
Both options available. For intimate gatherings (under 50 guests), we can perform 100% acoustic with natural instrument sound. For larger audiences or outdoor venues, amplification ensures everyone hears clearly. We discuss this during consultation based on your venue and guest count.
Can you collaborate with our DJ or other performers?
Yes! We love cross-genre collaborations. We've successfully worked with electronic music DJs (live instruments over beats), flamenco dancers (rhythmic fusion), jazz pianists, and corporate bands. Requires coordination and possibly additional rehearsal time.
What if venue doesn't have sound/lighting equipment?
We assess this during consultation. For small venues (under 100 guests), we bring portable sound. For larger venues, we coordinate professional rental (quoted separately). We can recommend trusted vendors or work with your venue's existing equipment.
Do you only perform in Pushkar/Rajasthan?
No! While based in Pushkar, we regularly perform across India (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa, Kerala) and have done international tours (Europe, USA, Southeast Asia). Travel and accommodation costs apply for distant locations.
What's the age range that enjoys fusion?
Universal! We've performed for ages 18-30 (appreciates modern elements), 30-50 (values sophistication), 50+ (enjoys classical traditions), and children (visual spectacle captivates). Mixed-age events work perfectly—fusion has layers appealing to everyone.
How far in advance should we book?
Minimum 4 weeks for standard packages. Recommended timeline: Weddings/Private Events (8-12 weeks), Festivals (12-16 weeks), Peak season Oct-Feb (12-20 weeks), International tours (4-6 months), Custom compositions (+4 weeks to standard timeline).
