The Brown Indian Band Storms Goa!

The Brown Indian Band took the 35th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 
by storm with a performance that blurred boundaries North, South, East and West.
The band led by bassist Colin D'Cruz, comprises Leonard Heredia on the 
keyboards, Scot Amstrong and Yvonne Gonsalves on vocals, Jayson Jones on the 
saxophone and Lester Godinho on the drums. The band was joined by South Indian 
musicians including the celebrated S. Harikumar on the carnatic violin, Ramdas 
NK on the tavil and TR Parameshwaran on the ghattam. Representing North Indian 
music were Dhiraj Kapadia on the flute, Yograj Borkar on the sitar and Saish 
Deshpande on the tabla.
The concert started a little later than could be described as stylish. It 
started off with an Indian classical recital by Kapadia, Borkar and Deshpande. 
Since the event had been billed as a jazz concert many in the audience stood up 
and walked away. Sadly, bad planning on the part of the event managers ensured 
that the crowd had thinned substantially by the time the South Indian 
musicians-Harikumar,Ramdas and Parameshwaran took centre stage.
A little bit of information on 24 year old wiz kid Harikumar: he has received 
dozens of awards including 'The most outstanding young violinist' which was 
given by former president KR Narayan. But his greatest gift is that of being 
able to play with jazz ensembles where he fits in effortlessly. Working the 
strings of his violin he sounds like a one man orchestra and when paired with 
the saxophone the result is simply divine. With the North and South done with 
it was time for the jazz musicians to take over. The group performed Morning 
Dance, an instrumental song called Equinox, Brazillian Love Affair, Love for 
sale and Braz Gonsalves' popular track Beautiful Goa.
After the intermission all the musicians came together in a fusion of East and 
West driving the audience, many of who had returned to their seats, wild with 
excitement. The performance drew a huge applause.
