Ra are Christer Borge-Lunde, Lars W. Lind, a goa trance project.

Ra was first founded in 1994 by Christer Borge-Lunde and Lars W.Lind. In 1998 Chris and Lars went their separate ways and Christer Borge-Lunde continued Ra primarily as a solo project. In 1998 Ra was signed with Blue Moon Productions UK and the first single Azure Child was released. In 1999 and 2000 Christer Borge-Lunde was working with Blue Moon Thailand and collaborated with Charlie Clarke which contributed on the album "To Sirius". The album was first released in Thailand in 2000 and later re-released world wide in 2001 by the German label Velvet/GTN. Ra remained primarily a solo project by Christer Borge-Lunde until late 2006 when Lars W. Lind and Christer Borge-Lunde decided to continue working with RA together. RA is now working primarily with Suntrip Records, but also release tracks on compilations for other labels. Their album 9th was released on Suntrip Records late May 2008.
