Award-winning Indian-Australian singer Menaka creates music shaped by her heritage, blending traditional Indian vocal techniques with contemporary influences.

After a period of serious health challenges that threatened her vision, songwriting became a source of strength and focus. Since then, she has emerged as a distinctive voice in Australia’s world-music landscape, performing at major events and festivals nationwide.

Menaka received the 2023 Queensland Music Award for Best Song (World) for her collaboration with Brisbane songwriter mou.

Menaka will be joined by accomplished instrumentalists Tsoof Baras (percussion and handpan), Kelsey Giarola (Vocal and Keyboard) and Darshil Shah (Bansuri). Together, the musicians craft a rich, immersive sound that sits at the meeting point of East and West, music that resonates, connects and stays with you.
