Founded in 2018, Sur Taal Laya, or STL, is WashU's premier South Asian fusion a cappella group combining classic Bollywood hits with popular Western music. Sur corresponds to a musical note, Taal, the beat or rhythm which binds a composition in time, and Laya, the tempo of a composition. Together, Sur, Taal, and Laya create a complete musical experience and are therefore the namesakes of our group.
