The collective had its debut concert in 2020 in San Francisco\, led by core members Divya Purohit Vyas and Jun Ishimuro (of Qb Moda Jazz). Initially\, their work centered around blending South Asian raga-based music with the soulful textures of jazz\, R&B\, and Black musical traditions.\nWith a flexible and evolving lineup of collaborating artists\, Anhad Naad Collective has performed at notable Bay Area venues including Bird & Beckett\, Integral Yoga Institute\, the Golden Gate Park Bandstand\, and events such as San Francisco’s Summer of Music hosted by Noise Pop and the Civic Joy Fund.\nIn 2023\, the group expanded its focus to delve deeper into South Asian spiritual music\, with a special emphasis on Sufi Qawwali traditions. Anhad Naad treats the spiritual dimension of Sufi poetry and music with deep reverence\, often seeking guidance from poets and experts from Pakistan and India. Lead vocalist Divya Purohit Vyas has previously been a part of Bay Dervish in Alameda\, a spiritual music collective associated with Sufi Way\, led by the late Kiran Rana and Jeanne Rana. \n\nAnhad Naad Collective Current Members:\nDivya Purohit Vyas – Vocals\nIrum Aftab – Vocals\nVivek Anand – Vocals\, Harmonium\nRajnish Kamat – Vocals\nJun Ishimuro – Flute\, Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)\nAbhay Shankar Anand – Tabla\, percussions\, Sound Engineering
