about

Harpreet Bansal is a Norwegian/Indian violinist and composer from Oslo. She is trained in raga (classical Indian music), jazz and folk music and has gained wide recognition as an innovative interpreter of the North Indian classical music tradition. Playing her violin, Harpreet brings relentless creativity and passion, stylistic focus and intensity to each performance. Her music is a mastery of multiple traditions and the perfect blending of them.

Bansal has worked both as soloist, ensemble leader and ensemble musician in a wide range of styles, collaborating with renowned artists including Javid Afsari Rad, Sukhvinder Singh Namdhari, Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils-Olav Johansen, Trygve Seim, Svante Henryson, Unni Løvlid, Rolf-Erik Nystrøm. As a soloist, she has given concerts in England, India, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Canada, Taiwan, Poland.

Bansal Band is Harpreet’s ensemble. Accompanied by Vojtěch Procházka (harmonium), Andreas Bratlie (table, percussion, voice), Adrian Fiskum Myhr (bass) and Javid Afsari Rad (santur), the group generates luxurious variation and textures, creating a fuller harmonic landscape for melodies and improvisations to travel. The band brilliantly explores different moods, often creating sub-variations within themselves, and seamlessly incorporates diverse elements from equally diverse musical traditions. The result is an unequivocal authenticity of tonal choice and techniques, creating music that is an organic, breathing unity, filled with joy, passion and life.

Bansal Band’s second album was nominated for the 2018 Norwegian Grammy Awards.

I do not understand jazz or why I love the work of Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Muscicians so much, but … oh boy … this really connects to me in a way I have hardly ever experienced with any other music … as if theres a direct cable from my heart to this album … Benjamin

Such a beautifully crafted album. Such intense rich weaving of sounds and feelings. It’s one of those albums you are happy to share at the same time want to keep as a personal secret. Amazing stuff by Mr Halsall. I suggest anyone reading this to spend some time in his early stuff too. Song to Charlie is monumental. il-berts
