==History==
The group was founded in 1979 as a jazz band by Christian Paulin (bass), and Mynta moved into a jazz-rock & funk band in the early ‘80s. After performing to rave reviews at Jazz Festivals worldwide, they toured India in '87 where they teamed up with Fazal Qureshi and Shankar Mahadevan, to arrive upon their present sound, a new genre they call 'Nordic Ice with Indian Spice'.<ref name=hb>{{cite news |title=Nice and spicy at thirty |url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/01/31/stories/2008013150340300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604121720/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/01/31/stories/2008013150340300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=Jan 31, 2008 }}</ref><ref name=nor/>
