Trilok Gurtu Band
A rhythmic journey around the world - Indian roots, jazz, improvisation, and global sounds.
With deep roots in Indian music and a lifelong love of jazz and improvisation, Trilok Gurtu has created a genre-defying style that has inspired generations. His percussion work fuses technical brilliance with a physical presence where every beat becomes an expression of motion and energy.
Over his career, he has collaborated with legends such as John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul, Jan Garbarek, and Salif Keita, shaping a unique musical world where continents and traditions meet. At Stockholm Jazz Festival, he invites you on a vibrant sonic journey with his band – performing music from his latest album Mirror (2025).
Expect an evening of sparkling rhythms, expansive improvisations, and musical encounters flowing freely between jazz, world music, and traditional Indian sounds.
