We're excited to announce that our newest album, A Black and White Christmas, is finished and now available!

A Black and White Christmas is a wonderful IndoCanadian fusion approach to traditional Christmas carols from Canada and India,
featuring the amazing talents of Hamilton, Ontario sitarist and vocalist Neeraj Prem
in partnership with Bruce Harding (flutes, voice, guitar, bass and percussion).
