Every teenager dreams of being in a band. If you are born in the North East of India, for many, it’s a natural choice. The unexplored natural beauty aside, the region flourishes with a diversity in musical talent that is yet to be tapped in. One such pool of talent, Soulgroove, will be making a pitstop in Mumbai with an opening performance of their tour, India on Fyah in Bandra.

“It was our performance at the Ziro Music Festival last year that opened doors for us,” says Zediah Hynniewta, vocalist and guitarist for the Shillong-based band. Since 2018, the trio of Hynniewta and siblings, Elza and John Rymbai, have been a familiar sight on the musical circuit in the region. “We have been performing for almost five years now. The key was to find our own identity as a band. The last four years enabled us to achieve that,” he shares.
