Markandeya (Marcus Berg) is a Swedish musician, singer, and producer currently living in the mountain village of Sopó, Colombia. His sultry vocals and deep bass lines are woven together in an emotive soundscape that defines his signature heart-centered ethereal dub.
As the founder and lead singer of the pioneering eight-piece orchestra Kultiration, Marcus was pivotal in shaping the Nordic modern roots scene from 2004 onward. Markandeya visionary blend of traditional folk, reggae and jazz established a cult-like following, sharing stages with legendary artists like Midnite, Groundation, and Michael Franti. Grounded in over a decade of Vedic studies and Eastern philosophy Marcus embraced the artist name “Markandeya” given to him by his teacher. In 2012 he debuted his first release as Markandeya, the Mirror of Words EP trilogy, bringing his vedic understanding into liquid sound with acoustic warmth and electronic innovation. After meeting his Colombian wife Almunis (Lulacruza) in Bali, they formed the duo Minük and released their internationally acclaimed debut Aurora in 2020, and have been performing at festivals across Latin America and Europe since.
In 2021, during a period of global introspection Markandeya delved deeper into his love for the subtleties of space and distance in music. With his release Vision Dubs, and popular re-release version on Earthly Measures with Ecuadorian artist Joaquín Cornejo, he invited listeners into an intimate world of delay and reverb-drenched fullness, further exploring hypnotic minimalism and inner reflection.
Markandeya is set to release the highly anticipated Dub Potential LP in 2025 featuring all star collaborations with Alex Serra, Horace Andy and more.
