Party: INTERNATIONAL JAZZ SERIES From New York TARANA

Tarana is an exciting and ground-breaking trombone/synth duo that blurs the boundaries between the electronic and the acoustic, while blending a vast array of influences, ranging from jazz to juke to Bollywood. Using digital and analog electronics, they layer live loops, melodies, textures and sounds on top of their tight-knit acoustic instruments to create a symphonic sound that also explores deep-grooving rhythms from across the world.

Tarana was formed in 2003 by Ravish Momin, an Indian-born versatile percussionist/composer/electronic musician/educator currently residing in New York City. Ravish has worked with artists as diverse as pop-star Shakira and the legendary saxophonist Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM.) Inspired by the music of the AACM, Ravish has continued to draw inspiration from various world music genres to produce his own shape-shifting world/jazz/electronic group.
