He very soon after started playing solo shows comprising of harmonium, vocals, ektar and sometimes guitar, playing songs by great songwriters such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, arranging his own versions of traditional folk/gospel songs, and also playing his own original compositions.
The name Ric Veda comes from an English translation of The Rig Veda ऋग्वेद, which in Sanskrit Rig means 'praise' and veda means 'knowledge'. It's the earliest of the four Hindu religious scriptures known as the Vedas.
Though influenced by traditional music (whether Woody Guthrie for american folk, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for Qawwali, Bhagavan Das for Indian Chants, George Naope for Hawaiian, Fela Kuti etc..) we also love modern rock bands like U2, Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire, along theatrical thought-provoking acts like Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan, and modern folk like Elliot Smith and Devendra Banhart. This combined with experimental elements of Dub, Soul, Hip Hop, and Breakbeats all come together to form the music we make.
