Dharmakasa is a collaboration of four Vancouver-based musicians who perform on a variety 
of very unique instruments, from the ancient to the recently invented. At the heart of this 
innovative group are Alcvin Ramos, recognized shihan (master) of the shakuhachi flute 
and Andrew Kim, inventor of unique hybrid instruments. Both are of Asian descent. 
They are joined by Juno award nominee, Cameron Hood, on electric bass and 
Steve (Shambunata) Daniluk on drums. 

These experienced artists have come together to create a sound that ranges from fiery 
shamanic dance music to meditative soundscapes and that fuses bold modern elements 
with the musical traditions of Japan, India, Africa, and Australia. 

Dharmakasa has performed to great success at numerous festivals and events including 
opening for Anouska Shankar at Vancouver’s Chan Centre and for the Yoshida Brothers 
in both Vancouver & Victoria this May. Dharmakasa has been featured on CBC Radio 
and Television.
