The philosophy

Sounds of Indian tablas mixed with guitar riffs, mystic sitar tones and Far East voices embedded in fundamentally western rock grooves – aka “Oriental Rock”, the unique sound of Indian European fusion.

The band

The band Ashram came together when Austrian guitarist Judy Sepan travelled to India in 2004 and met Ajaya Gopi (Takil & Indian folks instruments). Fascinated by the sound they were creating during jam sessions, they started to envision a cross-continental band. One year later, they have already toured across Europe for seven weeks, with a huge rock event as the finale.
