Niladri Kumaar: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Niladri Kumaar

Niladri Kumaar is an individual artist working across rock and pop, with appearances at NJPAC that place his work in conversation with Indian classical lineage. His program *The Space Between The Notes* was framed as a tribute to tabla master Zakir Hussain, acknowledging Hussain’s role as a composer, producer, and major bridge between traditions. Kumaar’s collaborations and references point to an artist attentive to rhythm as structure, not decoration. His performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle.
