If you are looking for a fun filled, exciting, enchanting,
melodious musical experience
ever, you have to experience the music performed by
SWARALI!
Swarali is a Seattle based
Marathi Music group formed in 2001 to promote local talent and to bring
good marathi music for music loving audience. The group
performs live music shows jam packed with melodious
marathi songs both old and new, foot tapping and peppy
songs as well as semi-classical songs intermingled with
state of the art compering, funny skits and jokes. The
group consists of talented
singers & musicians and the originality of
Marathi music is retained with traditional instruments
like tabla, dholki, flute and santur while simultaneously entertaining the younger generation (Generation X) by
sophisticated keyboards, drums and guitars.
The idea behind forming a group was to keep the Marathi
culture alive in this software dominated world.
Indians who leave India either in pursuit of their jobs
or to settle down here in the United States, often feel nostalgic
about the sites and sounds of India, fun filled moments
they shared with their friends and family, going to
orchestras and live music concerts, listening to smooth
enchanting tunes and dance to the beat of popular Hindi-Marathi
songs. Just to feed this nostalgia, Prasanna and his
friends frequently jammed together. This passion for
music became the seed which quickly grew into this fun
filled entertaining group Swarali.
Swarali's musical journey began in December 2001 and
its very first concert in Seattle in May of 2002 was
a huge success. People not only enjoyed the show but
requested to have more shows every year. Swarali has performed in Seattle every year since then to honor the public’s request. Swarali is now a well-known band not only in Seattle but also in cities across the U.S. in Oregon, New Jersey, New York, Illinois and Toronto.
In 2003, BMM (Brihan Maharashtra Mandal) invited Swarali to New York to perform in BMM Convention 2003. The band received a lot of applause from people around the globe. In 2004, Swarali performed for the 25th anniversary of the Marathi Vishwa organization in New Jersey.
Swarali's future plans are to perform in more cities
in Washington state and other states as well and is
looking forward to many more exciting events in the near
future. We are considering performing in a charity
benefit concerts and we think it would be extremely
satisfying and fun entertaining people knowing that the
proceeds from the concert would be used for a good
cause. If you are interested in hosting a show please
