Raghu Dixit Trio
Stripped-back. Heartfelt. A closer look at the songs of Raghu Dixit.
The Raghu Dixit Trio brings together three long-time collaborators – Raghu Dixit (vocals, acoustic guitar), Sanjay Kumar (guitars, bouzouki) and Akshay Ganesh (violin) – in an intimate new presentation of Raghu Dixit’s music.
Known internationally for the exuberance and energy of The Raghu Dixit Project, the Trio turns the volume down and brings the stories and emotion behind the songs to the fore.
Drawing on nearly three decades of songwriting, expect reimagined favourites, new compositions and unreleased material. Stripped back to voice, guitars, bouzouki and violin, it’s a different side of Raghu Dixit – less about the full-band rush, more about the songwriter and the stories behind the songs.
Raghu has taken his music from Mysuru to audiences in more than 50 countries, including performances at Glastonbury, WOMAD, Southbank Centre and BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland. Sanjay Kumar and Akshay Ganesh are long-time members and collaborators of The Raghu Dixit Project.
The Trio brings that shared musical history into a more intimate setting – three musicians, one songbook, and a little more room to journey…
