Co-produced by Nils Frahm at Berlin's Funkhaus, Ganavya's Nilam is a record of quiet power and profound connection. Praised by The New York Times and The Guardian, the album explores grounding, resilience, and healing through family history and spiritual practice. Songs anchor themselves in her grandmother's wisdom: celebrate love and joy, even in chaos. Her parents appear on 'Nine Jeweled Prayer,' while a rare Tamil harp colours 'Sinathavar Mudikkum.' Woven throughout is poetic protest and prayer. Nilam—Tamil for 'land'—becomes both place and practice, a sonic landscape where music is home.
