Whirling Kalapas can be best described as an instrumentally diverse, introspective and quirky acoustic Pop group. Formed by Indus Rock frontman, Uday Benegal and two seasoned multi-instrumentalists, Sankarshan Kini and Ashwin Andrew, the musical trio comes across as a rich addition to India’s current Indie explosion, especially for audiences looking beyond the volume-driven sounds of Rock and Electronic acts.

The band is all set to take Punekars through a musical joyride, today, but of a different kind, says Benegal. “I have performed many times in Pune, right from the days with Rock Machine to Indus Creed. But this gig is going to be very different from any of those in a sense that it will tap into my alter ego — it’s quieter and more introspective in some ways, and experimental and funkier in others,” he adds.
