Camel Light formed in 2007 with Chintan Kalra on vocals, guitar, and sitar, Raju Naithani on keyboards and harmonium, Sohrab Saheb on bass, and Tarun Balani on drums. Their music draws from Indian classical traditions alongside ambient and electronic textures, heard in songs like 'Te Chamar' and 'Sentido da Vida'.
They've released albums including Passage to Sirius in 2009, The Cosmic Dance in 2012, Samadhi in 2015, and Karpura in 2018. Their 2018 song 'Karpura' faced some criticism from traditionalists over its use of Sanskrit lyrics and harmonies, though the band continued working.
Other tracks like 'Namastasyai' and 'Survivors' reflect their interest in spiritual themes and layered soundscapes. The group's name references ancient trade routes and a spice called camel light.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
