A live performance by Indian Ocean in Jaipur

A live performance by Indian Ocean on Sunday evening in the city marked the celebration of the all-colour Jaipur edition of The Times of India.
The two-hour long performance by Amit Kilam, Rahul Ram, Susmit Sen, Himanshu Joshi and Tuheen Chakravarty mesmerized the city’s music lovers. Simple lyrics, rocking music and the confluence of Indian classical, folk and contemporary music made sure that the audience had a whale of a time.“We have been performing at youth fests of Jaipur colleges. But it’s after three years that we are performing for the public,” said drummer and vocalist Amit.
Niharika, who was spotted grooving to the tracks, exclaimed, “I had attended their concert in Delhi and had loved it. I couldn’t have thought of letting go of the opportunity of watching them play here in the city. There’s something special about them!”
The band got a roaring applause as it started playing their popular number – “Kandisa” and then followed it up with “Bande”, “Jhini”, and “Shoonya”.
That music has no language was proved here as the band’s renditions of “Aara Hile, Patna Hile” and the Bengali song, “Dheu Bhangey” also got the crowd dancing. “Do ghante kab nikal gaye, pata hi nahi chala,” said a visitor.
