“STREAMS OF INDIA AND BLUES ESSENCE
BY AROMERO – FEBRUARY 5, 2012
POSTED IN: CD REVIEWS
Indian Accent is the debut album by Bangalore-based world fusion band MoonArra. The musicians make a fascinating mix of Indian music, jazz and blues. Their sound is characterized by engaging vocals that include three styles: poetic English language vocals with jazz and blues inflections, Hindustani vocals and konakkol (vocal percussion).
On the instrumental side, MoonArra presents superb musicianship, where the slide guitar morphs from blues style to Hindustani style and interacts with other guitars and oud. The finely-calibrated rhythm section features drum kit and Indian percussion, and electric bass. MoonArra means three streams. It is a 5 member ensemble that has performed at major international festivals throughout Asia. Indian Accent is an impressive debut album by one of the emerging talents in the Indian world fusion scene.”

Getting back like Beck
Dec 06, 2011 at 08:05 AM
I disappeared into the sand dunes of Rajasthan. Karthik fell in with a big band from Germany,touring 7 cities. Madhuri decided to see the US of A, coast to coast and met Blues icon Buddy Guy, sojourn at Central Park. It's been a hiatus of sorts and the space has actually been good for us and now we're getting back to our roots.
