Oliver Rajamani, born and raised in TamilNadu, India, is a renowned world music artist who is credited for keeping alive:  the ancient vanishing Tamil folk music and Culture, and the nomadic and devotional musical styles of India. Music critics have distinguished Rajamani as an "artist who has redefined Gypsy Music by taking it back to India (homeland of the Roma Gypsy) to its original roots" and "literally destroying borders."

Music is ultimately of the heart and spirit and thus it is said it is the universal language uniting all living beings on earth, universe and beyond. Music is also everchanging as culture and humans are also everchanging.  But the spirit always remains the same. 

The music of Rajamani is of so called many traditions and not of any one tradition.  Thus it unites all human beings spiritually.stripping one of all illusions to lead you back into your heart and soul.   It is a sound that is at once foreign and familiar. Drawing upon ancient Eastern traditions, his music resonates in a deep place within its listeners, while remaining accessible and satisfying to the Western ear.

Rajamani's live shows are spiritually uniting and melodically soothing, rhythmically energizing, technically breathtaking and historically educating. Rajamani's music crosses many cultural, religious, and musical boundaries. Its spiritual essence allows people from different ethnic backgrounds and belief systems to connect to their own true spiritual identity

The sounds and rhythms that flow naturally out of Rajamani are an essence of his own diary of his life thru birth, travel, education and spirituality.  The musical styles range from India, Middle East, European Roma, Latin, Africa, to North American folk, and also includes music of the nomads of India. These Indian nomadic tribes stretch all the way from the South of India into the Middle East such as the Dom and into the European Rom (also derogatorily known as Gypsies) tribes.

Rajamani has created his own music by arranging traditional folk songs chronicling their historic path and by adding new compositions not found anywhere else on the globe.
