Swarathma app for iPhone and iPad

Swarathma is a Bangalore (India) based contemporary folk-fusion band that represents the sound of today’s India: rooted in tradition, yet with sights set firmly on the world.
The sound is Indian folk and Classical blended with Reggae, Blues and Jazz. With 2 albums on EMI, and international tours of the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore, they have managed to export a brand of contemporary Indian music that is exciting and fresh while being strong and beautiful, and not bound by Bollywood. They swept the Jack Daniels Indian Rock Awards 2009 winning Band of the Year (Critics and Popular Choice), Song of the Year and Album of the Year (Popular choice). The band is known for a visually electric stage act featuring faux-folk-horses, Bihari accents, and a Nehru Topis at
various times. With music that is strong and beautiful, contemporary and relevant, hard-hitting and tongue-in-cheek, theyre one of Indias most sought after live acts.

Their iPhone app is all about them, quirky, tongue-in-cheek. To begin with poke the horses in the eye to hear them neigh for joy, much like the faux-horse you will see on stage at their gig. Figure out how to get to the next gig with driving directions on Google Maps. What’s more, you could even play along with one of the band’s songs as your device transforms into one of the instruments the band plays on stage. Try the play-along option! And of course, you could check out the band’s pictures, videos and songs while you’re about it. Enjoy!
