Saturday night in Rishikesh, something rare happened. The air inside Social Soul Cafe stopped being ordinary air.
BENAR took the stage — and what followed was not a performance in the conventional sense. It was a crossing. Deep electronic beats wound themselves around live saxophone, clarinet, flutes, guitar, and synths, creating a sound that felt less composed and more alive — organic, breathing, intentional.
Bodies from Israel, Spain, India, and Russia — strangers hours before — began to move. Not because they were told to. Because the music left them no choice.
Social Soul Cafe founder Pushpak watched as his space became exactly what he always imagined it could be: a room where origin dissolves and only presence remains.
BENAR’s music is designed to carry you — from the noise of the mind down into the quiet of the heart. Saturday night, it delivered on that promise.
Rishikesh has its temples and its ghats. And now, on a Saturday evening, it has this.
