1 hour ago
Hosted by two part-time sitar players diving into the rich, resonant world of Indian Classical Music with a chill, conversational twist. In each episode, we explore ragas, rhythms, and the lives of true "raagstars" who carry this tradition forward, often featuring insightful (and fun) interviews with artists from across the Indian Classical Music spectrum. But it’s not just about the music — we also get into the things that shape us: anime, food, cultural identity, daily life, and everything in between. Whether you're a fellow musician, a curious listener, or just here for the vibes, welcome to the raga side of things.

Origin Stories part 1

Welcome to the very first episode of Raagstars! In this premiere, (recorded last year and finally being edited and released!) Mat and Gajanand dive into Mat's musical origin story — from discovering the sitar to his evolving relationship with Indian Classical Music as a first-generation Indian American.

Along the way, we chat about early influences, what drew us to this timeless art form, and how culture and creativity shape our connection to it.
