9 Grader Nord Live

9 Grader Nord (9 Degrees North) is a dynamic Tamil folk rock band from Norway, fronted by sisters Mira and Dipha Thiruchelvam. Drawing from Tamil folk traditions, Carnatic music, and baila, their sound fuses bamboo flute, cajon, and rock energy into a powerful live experience. Formed in 2016, the band has become one of the most striking acts in the Nordic music scene, known for performances that are rebellious, joyful, and self-assured. Singing in Tamil, performing in traditional attire, and collaborating across genres - from orchestral works with the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra to interpretations of Edvard Munch's paintings - 9 Grader Nord continually expands the frame of what Tamil folk music can be.
