Sheru Khan and his group is an interesting one. They all are related to each other; they all are brothers. They intended to make this group so that everyone in the family can be together and make music as they understand each other really well. Everyone in the group is multi-talented, whether it’s the group leader Sheru Khan or the budding singer Ashraf. They all are extremely and exceptionally good when they come together and play. The group looks for opportunities where they can all come up together and make music which can be cherished by the contemporary society and the generation ahead.
The group has performed at a very local stage and wishes to perform at various national and international platforms. The entire group is enthusiastic about making new music, they really believe into experimentation. They haven’t kept themselves limited to the folk entirely, rather they carry their age old traditional folk music with western instruments inclusion in their songs. The group is all about music and therefore the energy drives everyone at their performance to a different state filled with excitement and will to hear more of them. The group is very young, having its members of ages like 21, 23, 25, etc. The most interesting thing about this group is their love for fusion. Each one of the member in the group wither plays guitar, drums, or synth. They all look forward for a future where they can play together for wider audience who can cherish the music that they make and play. However, their love for fusion music a lot but they make sure to keep up their cultural heritage folk music in balance and doesn’t hurt the emotions of their elders in their community.
