  • Description

    The debut album by Michael Messer's Mitra and see the masterful guitarist and band blend a unique fusion of blues slide guitar, Hindustani classical slide guitar and tabla rhythms into something really special.

    'Mitra' (pronounced 'meetra') is friends, the Hindu god of friendship and alliance.

    Michael Messer's Mitra is a trio comprising British blues innovator and slide guitarist, Michael Messer, Hindustani slide guitar maestro from Mumbai India, Manish Pingle , and London-based tabla player, Gurdain Singh Rayatt.

    This is more than another meeting of musicians from different cultures, this is a band with its own unique sound, an exhilarating and highly accessible fusion of blues and Hindustani classical music. With vocals, slide guitars and tabla, these three musicians from opposite sides of the globe create a fascinating musical journey, running from the banks of the Mississippi, via London, to Mumbai and the Ganges Delta.
