sounds with influences from Indian, African, Caribbean and Western music.
ShivaNova celebrates cultural diversity through music as well as through
other art-forms including storytelling, dance, visual art and projection,
circus and theatre. EQUATOR FESTIVAL was set up by ShivaNova

traditional, classical and jazz performers in a unique mix of Indian roots
