- A fusion of Indian classical music, jazz, and contemporary European sounds -

Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the meditative sounds of India and the improvisational freedom of jazz. NeckarGanga combines the spiritual depth of Indian music with the vibrancy of European soundscapes – a journey from the banks of the Neckar River to the sacred sites along the Ganges. The ensemble, composed of German and Indian musicians, creates a captivating sound with saxophone, percussion, tabla, guitar, and bass – dissolving borders and connecting cultures.

“The melodies of India meet jazzy harmonies to create a unique soundscape – vibrant, flowing, and full of magic,” says saxophonist Steffen Dix. Since their formation in 2015, the group has captivated audiences at festivals in Germany, Switzerland, and India, and documented their music in award-winning videos.
