Whirling Kalapas is an acoustic-based trio created by Indus Creed's Mahesh Tinaikar and Uday Benegal along with multi-instrumentalist
Sankarshan Kini. The trio’s music can be described variously as neo-folk, alt-country, mellow—and often funky—acoustic rock. The band’s vocally and instrumentally lush sound has been garnering much praise from audiences across the country, including at their recent performance headlining Lou Majaw’s renowned Bob Dylan birthday celebrations in Shillong.

Whirling Kalapas was born when Uday regrouped with Mahesh on his return to India in 2009 from the US. To complete their eclectic acoustic sound, they recruited the highly talented multi-instrumentalist Sankarshan Kini, a veteran sessions musician who's toured the world with acts like Kailasa and Adil & Vasundhara. The trio are a rich addition to India’s current wave of alternative music forms, especially for audiences looking beyond the volume-driven sounds of rock and electronic music populating the indie scene. This is cerebral yet accessible music for the thinking listener.

Band Members:
Uday Benegal - Vocals, Guitar
Mahesh Tinaikar - Guitar, Vocals
Sankarshan Kini - Mandolin, Violin, Harmonica, Percussion, Vocals
