Founded in 1997, The Nada Brahma Music Ensemble was created by 7-string guitarist, composer and arranger Matthew Grasso. The focus of the ensemble is to freely synthesize musical forms from around the
globe. They draw from several traditions, including: Indian, middle eastern, Spanish / flamenco, jazz, and western classical.

The Nada Brahma Music Ensemble's style is entitled Indian Classical Fusion. The ensemble plays original ragas and talas (melody forms and
rhythmic cycles). These talas range from traditional eight or ten beats to the unusual 4 3/4ths or 9 1/4th beats. N.B.M.E. also performs music with a harmonic language rooted in Klezmer, Jazz, and Spanish music.

Currently the N.B.M.E members are:
Matthew Grasso - guitarist, composer, and director
Alex Jenkins - tabla
Leon Hu - guitar.

N.B.M.E invites musicians from various genres to perform.
