THIS SATURDAY AT SHAB-E-SIYAH

THE VOICE OF THE MOUNTAINS — UNCHARTED, UNITED & UNSTOPPABLE

From the deep valleys of Chamoli, to the sharp ridgelines of Pithoragarh, and the living heartbeat of Pauri and Tehri Garhwal, a new wave of Uttarakhand’s sound is rising — fearless, authentic, and impossible to ignore.

This is the new Himalayan expression —

born in the mountains, shaped by struggle, and carried by artists who refuse to stay quiet.

🌄 Rakesh Manral & Shadow — Tharali, Chamoli

Two artists molded by the same soil, carrying two distinct fires:

Rakesh Manral

A voice shaped by river winds and mountain silence. Soulful, emotional, and honest — Rakesh is the storyteller of the hills.

Shadow

A writer of depth and raw truth. His art comes straight from lived experience, turning silence, pain, and passion into powerful expression.

Together, they bring the heart of Chamoli to the stage.

🏔️ Flawed & Arti — Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand

Representing the eastern edge of the state, these two artists carry the spirit, discipline, and innovation of Pithoragarh:

Flawed

From Pithoragarh to the big city stage, he’s redefining the new age Uttarakhandi sound.

Arti

A voice that balances power and emotion. Rich, expressive, and connected to her roots — she brings a timeless Kumaoni aura to contemporary music.

Together, they represent the evolution of Pithoragarh’s creative identity.

⚡ Hendrix & Semmi — Pauri Garhwal & Tehri Garhwal

This is not just an artist lineup.

This is Uttarakhand’s rising cultural force.

This is Uncharted Indies.

And this is only the beginning.
