GaPa is a duo comprised of musicians Ganesh Anandan and Patrick Graham. Based in Montréal, the two percussionists have been working closely together for the past 5 years, exploring new techniques and compositional structures for percussion with a special emphasis on fingerdrumming styles.

Featuring compositions by both artists, and employing an extensive array of instruments, such as the bodhran, kanjera, riqq, taiko and tar, GaPa draws inspiration from styles and traditions as varied as Irish, Arabic, and Japanese music. In particular, the complex South-Indian, or karnatak rhythmic system permeates the duo's sound. Add a modern sensibility, a sense of humour, invented instruments, as well as vocals and melodic elements to round out this unique musical fusion, and the result is an organic, cross-cultural mélange that defies classification.

GaPa often collaborates with guest artists, including recent concert appearances with noted percussionists Glen Velez, USA, (1999), Ramesh Shotham, India, (2001) and Carlo Rizzo, Italy (2001)
