Cellist Yo Yo Ma once said, “Indian Ocean does with Indian music what I’ve always wanted to do with Chinese music”. Gear up for an evening of exhilarating Indian music, re-invented by the country's foremost folk rock band. Listen to sounds that are native to the subcontinent merge seamlessly with traditions of other genres like jazz and rock.
From spirituality to Sufi poetry to a call for revolution... the band’s music will take you on a journey that juxtaposes the ancient with the contemporary and the past with the future.
Formed in the early 90s, Indian Ocean has spearheaded the Indian rock scene. Their unique sound of contemporary rock mixed with classical, jazz and fusion have earned them a cult following. The band has managed to maintain this inimitable sound in all its albums and has received some rave reviews from critics and audiences. Some of the themes the band explores in its songs are Sufism, environmental consciousness and mythology. Definitely exclusive in what they do, Indian Ocean has toured all over India and played all over the globe.
