A South Asian Suite is the 3rd studio album from Arun Ghosh.

A South Asian Suite is an original Indo-Jazz chamber work by Arun Ghosh inspired by the music, landscape and peoples (sic) of Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka as seen from the viewpoint of a British-Asian from a Northern town. The Suite consists of six movements and contained within them is Ghosh's musical response to each of the 5 countries of the Subcontinent, highlighting regional variations in style, tempo and mood.

Originally commissioned by Manchester Mega Mela and the PRS for Music Foundation and presented in associated with camoci, the live premiere of A South Asian Suite took place at Platt Fields, Manchester on 24th July 2010. Its London premiere took place at the Southbank's Alchemy Festival on 15th April 2011 with subsequent performances at Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, the Tagore Festival 2012 in Dartington, the Corsham Festival 2012 and the Vortex Jazz Club in May 2013.

A South Asian Suite was finally recorded on 28th May and 14th July 2013.

One of my favourite releases of 2021. Intense at times - the blend of jazz and Arabic maqam makes for a Natural Information Society style hypno-jazz. Absolutely love it! marchivemind
