Khantara’s Sounds
photo by Laura George
Colombian Multi-instrumentalist and composer Anthar Kharana
brings the stunning richness and power of his Colombian Roots mixed with Arabic and Gypsy influences.
Anthar has mastered different vocal techniques developing a wide range of expression sounding sometimes as mellow as a female voice but also as deep as mongolian throat singing.
His new five piece band uses Traditional Colombian sounds of Gaitas and ‘Tambores’, or drums, with Bouzouki, cajon and Traverse flute.
Enjoy the rhythms and powerful soundscapes that will transport you to a land of joy and moves but keeping a sacred connection to the ancient Colombian wisdom.
