Nikhil Yerawadekar

Queens, NY’s own Nikhil P. Yerawadekar began playing guitar in Antibalas in September of 2008. He recently had the opportunity to switch over to bass and is very excited about the whole thing. Nikhil stays busy playing in a number of other NYC-based projects such as Akoya Afrobeat, Superhuman Happiness, Team B, occasionally subbing on guitar in the Fela! Broadway musical, and spending a lot of time teaching. As of spring 2010, he is in the early stages of developing his own tunes and recordings. Nikhil loves fresh beats, strong melodies, swagger and good form– and the idea that music can play a role in public discourse.
