With
elaborate rhythms and virtuoso improvisations this spectacular group
of authentic Rajastanhi gypsies present a wild repertoire, from
traditional Indian classics to popular Bollywood movies hits.
Hailing
from a long family lineage of musicians and sharing his life between
Jaipur and Paris, Hameed Khan Kawa has known the sound of the brass
band since his birth. Exposed to different musical styles – jazz,
Western traditional music, Indian music – Hameed developed the idea
of creating a brass band of his own to present the fantastic sound of
the Indian Brass Band.
He
selected the most talented musicians from the best local bands of
Rajasthan, with a repertoire blending popular themes from Bollywood
films, traditional music of Rajasthan with its distinctive Gypsy
sound, and even a touch of Hindustani classical music to create a
sound which is individual and unexpected.
A
rousing musical extravaganza on recognisably Western instruments such
as the clarinet, trumpet, trombone, sousaphone, saxophone and tuba
and an array of percussion. They come with a beautifully costumed
Gypsy Sapera Kalbelya dancer and a genuine fakir, whose sabre
swallowing, extreme juggling and stupendous balancing skills have to
be seen to be believed.
