The city is teeming with bands simply playing Hindustani and We­stern instruments together on stage, tagging it as fusion. Mu­­ch before the confused int­e­r­pretation of the genre took sh­ape, a Delhi-based ba­nd pioneered the fusing of elements in an organic way.

Almost 15 years later, the ei­g­ht-member outfit - Abhishek Ma­thur (gu­itar), Aman Si­ngh (dr­ums), Anindo Bo­se (ke­ys), Chayan Adhikari (vocal), Gaurav Chintamani (bass), Ujwal Nagar (Hindustani vo­cals) Mohit Lal (tabla) and Suhail Yusuf Khan (sarangi) - has released their first single in seven years. Advaita's January 2019 release, Milan, shows the evolution of its members as musicians, while keeping the authenticity intact.
