Hailing from cosmopolitan London, the music of Karma Sheen merges Hindustani classical, fuzzy 60s rock a la Jimi Hendrix, and Sufi inspired lyricism, deeply rooted in cultural heritage.
Spearheaded by Sameer Khan, who is formally trained by a 600-year-old lineage of musicians from modern-day Pakistan, Karma Sheen brings timeless traditions to new realms, captivating audiences along the way.
Through embracing the Hindustani format while drinking from retro aesthetics and re-signifying it all with the avant-gardism of neo-psychedelia, they create something both recognisable and new. It is guaranteed you will not find another band who sound like Karma Sheen.
