GAYA brings world music between meditation and groove to Aschau
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, GAYA will transform the Priental Hall in Aschau im Chiemgau into a resonance space for far-eastern melodies, oriental tonal colors, and powerful rhythms from around the world. The concert begins at 20:00 and is part of the Cultural Autumn of the Cultural Stage Aschau.
When sitar and didgeridoo meet
Since 1996, GAYA has been combining traditional and modern elements into a distinctive world music. Sitar, didgeridoo, djembe, handpan, shrutibox, cigar box guitar, and other instruments merge into a sound that swings between ethereal meditation and driving groove.
The centerpiece of the stage performance is the orchestrated connection of melody, percussion, and resonance. India meets Australia, African drumming traditions encounter electronically graceful soundscapes, while the musicians guide through their sound landscapes with secure synchronization and great stylistic flexibility.
A musical journey from the Chiemgau
The band was founded in 1996 in Rosenheim and released their debut album GAYA in 1998. Throughout their history, the ensemble has developed into a prominent representative of the regional world music scene. Performances on the Wendelstein, at healing festivals in Chiemgau, in extraordinary natural settings, and at trance and world music festivals contribute to the group's unique live profile.
The current lineup combines the long-standing musical work of Johannes Demmel with the tonal colors of Simon Obermeier, Denis Hüwel, and Michael Memminger. This creates a versatile concert evening that allows for intimate passages as well as rhythmic outbursts with palpable physical energy.
Live atmosphere with sound, light, and wanderlust
GAYA concerts thrive on their immediate audience vibe. Quiet, meditative moments open the space for concentrated listening before djembe, cajon, and didgeridoo increase the pulse. The acoustics of the Priental Hall becomes the stage for a concert experience that is not only heard but physically felt.
Between exotic instrumentation, groovy world music, and spiritual sound aesthetics, an evening full of energy, expansiveness, and musical wanderlust emerges. The band does not follow a rigid template: improvisation, dynamics, and the direct interplay with the space shape the stage performance.
Conclusion: Experience world music live in the Priental Hall
GAYA invites you to a musical journey between meditation, groove, and global sound traditions at the Cultural Autumn Aschau. Those who want to experience sitar, didgeridoo, handpan, and powerful percussion in an atmospheric live show will find a special concert evening in the Priental Hall on October 24, 2026.
