Like the ancient river that lends them their name, The Tapi Project does not simply flow—it carves its path. Born in Surat and shaped by journeys across continents, the band’s acoustics are both deeply rooted and ever-changing. Their music is not confined by genre but carries the pulse of folk, jazz, rock, and the unpredictability of the road.

Led by Yogendra Saniyawala (Acoustic Guitar / Greek Bouzouki / Voice), Swati Minaxi (Voice), Gaurav Kapadia (Drums / Voice), and Biju Nambiar (Keyboard / Bass / Voice), the quartet’s music speaks of rivers and roots, of lost values and longing, of modern India seen through a traveler’s eyes. What makes The Tapi Project singular is neither calculated studio precision nor market-tested formulae. Their sound emerged organically, devoid of any practiced effort to create “a sound'—a rare authenticity in today's manufactured music landscape. This is why they have resonated across over 30 countries and most recently at the Celtic Connections in Glasgow, Scotland, becoming the first indie Indian band to be invited.
