Sitaria is the project of Uwe Neumann and Shankar Das to perform Indian Classical Music with emphasis on grooving rhythms and expressive melodies.

The compositions and improvisations portray their complicity and mastery of Indian Classical Music and also their background of occidental expressiveness and beat.

Together, Uwe Neumann and Shankar Das have not only performed Indian Classical music but also Jazz and World Music as well. Venues include the OM-Festival in Ontario for summer solstice 1999, many concerts in Toronto and Montréal, and the Yantra-nights. They have performed Jazz with NoEMI (Nouvel Ensemble de Musique Improvisée) at L'Air du temps and other Jazz-venues.

Shankar Das has performed in many festivals in North America, England and Turkey with Kani Karacha, Hugh Marsh, Hassan El Hadi, Ekko and many others.
