Geetanjali
Geetanjali, a well known Bay Area band of Indo-American Silicon Valley Professionals for over two decades, has been entertaining local audiences with their refreshing sounds of east-west fusion “Bollywood Music” that is renowned for unique, energetic, melodious and foot tapping blends of India ragas/rhythms, Latin percussions, and western rock themes to create an intoxicating genre of modern Indian music.  “ Geetanjali” derived from Tagore’s masterpiece literally means “an offering of songs” and that’s what the band delivers with passion.
