The Berlin based German-Sri Lankan group, Carnatic Comfort Zone, led by the charismatic Sri Lankan singer and percussionist Manickam Yogeswaran. The Comfort Zone explores South Asian music traditions through Yogeswarans music, which combines the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore and compositions based on the ancient Thirrukural text using some of the more unusual modes of the Melakarta with modal harmony, improvisation and funky bass lines. The Carnatic Comfort Zone explores the fault lines between ancient and modern traditions playing haunting arrangements in a kaleidescope, which reflects the diverse backgrounds of the musicians in the band. The line-up includes Manickam Yogeswaran on Voice, flute and Kanjira, Will Ramsay on saxophone, Martin Lillich on bass, Alexey Wagner on Guitar and Dietrich Woehrlin on drums.
