**Hyderabad, April 30, 2025** – Band Anahatha, a unique multilingual ensemble from Hyderabad, is captivating audiences with its blend of Telugu and Hindi classics, along with Tamil, Punjabi, and English hits. Founded by Ananya Bhaskar in 2022, the band features a rare double female lead vocal lineup – Ananya herself and Manasa Seshu. This unconventional setup initially faced challenges, with some suggesting the addition of a male singer. However, Anahatha persevered, performing at diverse venues ranging from club nights and corporate events to weddings and college festivals.
The band’s name, “Anahatha,” meaning the heart chakra, reflects their aim to connect deeply with their audience through music. Both Ananya and Manasa honed their skills through reality singing competitions, giving them the confidence to pursue music full-time. Despite initial struggles, the band has grown, maintaining a strong lineup and developing a reputation for energetic, two-hour performances blending contemporary and classic styles. Their performances at college campuses, like their gig at IIIT Hyderabad, have been particularly rewarding, met with enthusiastic crowd participation.
Looking ahead, Anahatha plans to incorporate more classical fusion into their repertoire. Ananya emphasizes that the band is more than just a group of musicians; it’s a commitment to musical excellence and creating lasting memories for their audiences.
