Jhini (Kosmic Music)
The 4th album of trend-setting fusion band Indian Ocean joins the top of our fusion list this month. Each track is terrific; our picks include Nam Myo Ho and After the War. Overall, the 7 tracks pack an hour of superb music, with elements of Indo-rock, shlokas, sufism, and political commentary in the blend.
The star cast includes Susmit Sen on guitar, Asheem Chakravarty on percussion and vocals, Amit Kilam on drums, and Rahul Ram on bass guitar. Fans should also definitely check out the band’s Web site at www.IndianOceanMusic.com.
Their earlier albums, especially Kandisa and Desert Rain, should definitely belong in your fusion collection as well.
