TESTIMONIALS

Not only is A Crime a discernibly radio-ready single. It also packs in enough nuance and virtuosity to appease any serious guitar-led-music aficionados. Guitar Magazine recognised Takar Nabam as one of the top 5 guitar players in 2020, we’re seriously inclined to agree.

There is romance in Takar Nabam’s voice. He has his way with listeners’ hearts by zeroing in on mundane, everyday experiences, and making them sound worthy of a happy memory. In this single from his new EP Red and Yellow, he revisits this creative instinct by crafting a spot of musical charms from that ever-relatable and ever-frustrating monkey on our backs – love.

People know Nabam as being a vibrant creator of songs that capture listeners in several ways, be it through his nostalgic hooks, vivid storytelling, or bold and forward-thinking musical vision.

The tribal region of Arunchal Pradesh in India might not be the first place you think of when looking for guitar’s ‘next-big-thing’, but Takar Nabam – already named in Guitar Player Magazine’s ‘Top Five Guitar Players in India’ in 2020 – is absolutely at the forefront of innovative, convention-defying guitarists with his deep, instinctual understanding of both his instrument and his voice.
