MoonArra means “three streams” and was formed in 2006 as a fusion of the interaction and collective influences of Indian Classical, Jazz and World Music influences of its members. As part of its explorations and to connect with musicians and audiences worldwide, MoonArra are also ambassadors of culture, bringing the message of peace and harmony, goodwill and tolerance in today’s environment.
