"Kher is poised to move from being one of India's biggest brightest stars to being one of the most celebrated voices on the planet" - Derek Beres of Huffington Post & Nat Geo Music Press Release: October 12th - You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, as he is just over five feet tall, but Indian singer Kailash Kher is big…in fact, he’s huge. After appearing on hundreds of Bollywood film soundtracks, earning wild success as a Indian pop music icon and television personality as a judge on Indian Idol and MTV's Rock On, Kher has risen to the pinnacle of the Indian entertainment industry. Now, Kailash Kher is poised to conquer the international imagination as well. In the past month, Kher released his first international album on Cumbancha, performed in front of 18,000 adoring fans at the Hollywood Bowl and 60,000 fans at the new Texas Stadium in Dallas, and presented a brilliant live set on KCRW's influential music program Morning Becomes Eclectic.
On Sunday, November 8th, the band brings their powerful live show to Atlanta for a performance at the Variety Playhouse.
Kher's soaring, powerful vocals reached an even wider audience this past week as a featured voice on the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster Couples Retreat, the first Hollywood soundtrack scored by A.R. Rahman since he won an Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire. Couples Retreat is directed by Peter Billingsley and stars Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman. An early fan of Kailash Kher's voice, A.R. Rahman has called on Kher to record many times remarking that his voice has, "pure soul!". While Kher has recorded with Rahman for dozens of Indian films, Couples Retreat is Kher’s first Hollywood film. His soaring, powerful vocals can be heard on the film’s flamenco-meets-Sufi soul track “Salvadore.”
This fall, Cumbancha introduced the world to the magic of Kailash Kher & Kailasa with Yatra (Nomadic Souls), the Indian supergroup’s first international release. The breathtaking album features new songs along with new studio and unplugged recordings of the some of their most appealing hits. Yatra (Nomadic Souls) features Kailash Kher & Kailasa’s trademark blend of mystical Sufi soul and Indian folk roots blended with contemporary pop, rock, reggae and funk grooves.
