American singer-songwriter and composer Jon Batiste came to India for the first time in the last week of November to perform in New Delhi and Mumbai, but the visit has left a lasting impact on him, according to a social media post that he has shared earlier today. 

In the post on Instagram earlier today, Batiste shared, “Sometimes you arrive in a place and immediately feel an overwhelming sense of magnetism. Spending time in India was a revelation. It fueled me and fostered a newfound insight into the human condition. The truest expression of my artistry comes alive in these portals—where history meets ingenuity meets tradition meets unfiltered heritage meets generational duress under the spark of divine will. These coordinates are rare in the world and bring forth culture that sparks and sizzles. I believe God called me to India at this time as part of the continued fulfillment of artistry. I'm psyched and thankful to all my new friends for your hospitality, joyful spirit and humble grace.”
