Artists - Vivek Rajagopalan
|
Vivek has succeeded in creating a niche for himself even in the usually ultra-commercial ad jingle circuit. His career started on the International Jazz Festival stage in Thailand, alongside some of the most talented jazz musicians from across the world. His sessions and live concerts with much-respected musicians include the likes of Shri, Courtney Pine and Bugge Wesseltoft. If world music today is a melting pot of cultures & genres, then Vivek’s music is a drop of spicy red curry in the concoction. It combines Carnatic, Hindustani, jazz, folk, electronic, and drum n bass and creates sound-scapes that are edgy as much as international. The music combines melody (a hallmark of Indian music) with grooves that you’ll hear in various corners of the planet. Together it makes a heady mix of energy and melody; something you’ll find difficult to remove from your head, and stop your feet from tapping to. To sum things up: Vivek’s music is an impression of today’s India: traditional, funky, global, dynamic, and contagiously pulsating.
