Typically the sound and style of Ravi Iyer’s world fusion band v-RAVI GUITAR FUSION is based on a smooth blend  and influences of Hindustani/Carnatic classical music and Rock/Jazz styles of music. All this is translated through the custom VRAVI guitar where the guitar happens to be the protagonist of the act.
