Suaramantra (Voice of Mantra) is lead by Mantra who is also a visual artist. At an early age, Mantra was struck by polio which resulted in him being wheelchair bound. This event has however motivated him to persue his talent in both fine art and music. With visual arts playing a big role in his life, the emphasis in his music lies on the textures and colours of the notes and compositions too. As he says himself, this is best perceived by the audience when listening to Suaramantra with closed eyes.Mantra aims to introduce the relatively unknown ethnic elements of Lombok, mixed with contemporary accents, to music lovers all over the world.Recently one of our song has won battle-of-the-band at worldmusic.netwww.worldmusic.net/battle/news/2012-05-15/battle-of-the-band-winner-suaramantra-announced/
