Now Hear is a musical duo dedicated to the art of improvisation and presence. Formed by Kevin Lara a Chilean percussionist and Elliot Benjamin, an English-Indian guitarist, the duo explores meditative, introspective soundscapes that unfold in the present moment. Their music, entirely improvised, flows from deep listening, creating relaxing and immersive experiences that calm the mind and invite reflection.
Elliot’s guitar work blends alternative tunings, microtones, and influences from his studies of Indian classical music, along with other global inspiration gathered from years of travel and collaboration across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Kevin brings a rich palette of rhythms, drawing from his background in Afro-Cuban, Afro-Peruvian, jazz, funk, and soul percussion, honed through studies in Chile, Germany, and beyond.
Together, Now Here has performed at festivals and venues across the world, including Elbjazz, Stiftung Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival (Germany), The Eden Project and St. Ives Folk Festival (UK), Flydende By Festival (Denmark), Rainbow Gathering Festival (Taiwan), and Gwangju Arts Festival (South Korea).
At its heart, Now Hear is about being fully here in the moment, in the music, in the flow of creation.
