NANDIGHOSHA is a Swiss based Indian Spiced Jazz and World Music Group founded by Internationally recognised Hindustani classical vocalist and composer Bijayashree Samal; Bruno Steffen, a well- known Jazz pianist, composer, arranger and former music teacher of Conservatory of Zurich (MKZ), ZHdK; and Ekkehard Sassenhausen, well known classical and Jazz saxophonist, composer and principal of Musikschule Uster Greifensee, Switzerland.
The name ‘NANDIGHOSHA’ means ‘Joy of Music’ rightly signifying the group’s interest and effort to create and produce music for the global audience by combining different world music genres primarily Indian Classical with Jazz . The name has also connection with Bijayashree’s native place Odisha, one of the eastern states of India, where people worship Lord Jagannath of Puri whose chariot name is Nandighosha. Bijayashree believes the annual festival, Ratha Jatra in Puri is a festival signifying universal brotherhood, unity & integrity through embracing humanity and love beyond everything else as the deities themselves come out of their temple to be with the world beyond cast, creed and religion.
Currently, NANDIGHOSHA Group is working on Indian compositions (involving originals as well as traditional) in connection with western harmonic music to infuse colours of Jazz music on Indian melodies and vice-versa
