Indian Ocean Band
India's premium band that plays an electric original mix of various genres - rock, jazz, classical and folk music will be performing Live in Baltimore. They have previously performed at prestigious events such as the Smithsonian FolkLife Festival (Washington DC) and routinely go on tours organised by the Govt of India in countries ranging from Russia to China to Bhutan. A cult band in its own right, the group has amalgamated Indian folk music with Western soft rock. The band members have denied any limitations to their personal craft that might arise due to the demands of hitting the mainstream. They are the sound of contemporary India getting to know itself. Some music critics describe the Indian Ocean Band as Indo-rock fusion with jazz-spiced rhythms that integrates shlokas, Sufism, environmentalism, mythology and revolution. Indian Ocean have been savoured by their listeners, and their small yet perfect body of work has made the experience of their music totally delicious.
Music in the Movie "Peepli Live"
Internationally renowned, their song ‘Desert Rain’ was the 2006 #2 on the iTunes UK chart.
