22793 Foothill Boulevar, Redwood City, 94065 Kala Ramnath is the contemporary torch-bearer of the Mewati Gharana, and stands today among the most outstanding instrumental musicians of North India. Born into a unique musical lineage of seven generations straddling the two classical music systems of India, Kalaâs genius with the violin manifested itself from early childhood. A pre-eminent disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj, Kala has completely revolutionized violin technique and produces a sound so evocative of North Indian vocal music that today her violin is called "THE SINGING VIOLINâ. A virtuoso of staggering proportions, Kala has performed at all the major music festivals in India, as well as the most prestigious stages throughout the world, including the Sydney Opera House, Londonâs Queen Elizabeth Hall and New Yorkâs Carnegie hall to name a few. Kalaâs international presence can also be felt through her increasingly frequent appearances on Hollywood film soundtracks including Leonardo DiCaprioâs Oscar nominated âBlood Diamondâ. Kala is at the vanguard of the present generation of young Indian super-stars. She is rigorously trained in the classical tradition yet comfortably forges musical alliances with artists from around the globe incorporating elements of jazz, flamenco and traditional African music into her rich and varied palette.
