SpanJazz returns with Khamira, an evening brimming with brilliant music from New World musicians, on Thursday, May 25, at the Plas Hyfryd Hotel, Narberth.

Khamira is a new Indian-Welsh World Music band, fusing elements of Welsh folk, Indian Classical, jazz and rock. The band is made up of four musicians from Welsh Jazz/folk band Burum, who have joined forces with three of India’s genre-breaking musicians to create a fresh new sound.

The amalgamation of these two nations coming together musically creates an innovative and fresh new sound which is exciting audiences from all over. Think Miles Davis 1970s grunge-funk crossed with the Pat Metheny group, mixed with passages of melancholic Welsh folk and Indian classical virtuosity. A unique take on classic Jazz to say the least!

A mutual respect and shared vision of what is possible when cultures meet is at the heart of Khamira. Two worlds collide to create vivid and dynamic music, whilst maintaining classic Jazz elements. Khamira are a unique musical experience and an absolute must see!

Span Arts’ long-running jazz monthly takes place in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere at the wonderful Plas Hyfryd Hotel, Narberth. With real ales, a meal available and great foot-tapping music, this venue is the perfect environment for this spectacular event.
