The strongest stories are always the ones closest to home. That is something the Mangaluru-born and Mumbai-based band, Curry — comprising Ryo, Sheesh, and Kanasue — has learnt in their 12-year career. “Mangaluru is deeply rooted in culture and has beautiful stories of the land, which we thought we could describe with our music,” said Ryo. This thought forms the foundation of their latest EP, Suprabhatha.

The four-track project, featuring Seetha Kalyana, Manase, Saanjh, and Nannavale, is rooted in the culture of coastal Karnataka, pulling from the traditions of the Karavali region.
