Green Room Tapes is a band originally from Kolkata, India, since 2016. They specialize in creating a sound deeply rooted in Hindustani classical music, where they mainly perform their original compositions, semi-classical music, Ghazals, and Bollywood music. Ghazals have had a long-standing influence in shaping their music; hence, ghazals play a predominant role in their performances.
