NAADRO Information

Naadro began its long and yet unfinished and necessarily unending journey across the global musical firmament as a percussion band. We began with some rudimentary percussion instruments, some of which were popular across the world. Within a short period of time we not only obtained instruments from a wide range of cultures but through sheer dedication, practice and love for music became proficient at using them to expand the horizons of our percussionist passions. In this way we made a mark among the few globally recognized percussion bands. We are constantly exploring the potential of employing the traditional percussion instruments from India, Japan, Latin America and Africa along with our traditional Sri Lanka drums to create new percussion music and for this reason, have attracted a largeand growing following across the world. One of the key and unique features of Naadro is the deliberate effort to go beyond percussion instruments and to incorporate anything and everything that can produce sound as appropriate for the particular creative exercise in order to mould a signature style of percussion. This includes at times a kitchen utensil, at times vehicle spare parts or even the implements used
