member band that includes Susmit Sen, Asheem Chakravarty,
Rahul Ram and Amit Kalam. The sound of contemporary India
getting to know itself is how they describe their music.
Formed in 1990, Indian Ocean Indian Ocean has
released incredibly brilliant albums - Desert
Rain, Kandisa and Jhini. Blending jazz,
rock, Indi-folk, Indian classical and various
other elements, what separates Indian Ocean from
other bands is their distinctive sound.
Born
to perform, seeing Indian Ocean perform live in
concert is once in a life time experience. It is
virtually impossible to imagine how a
four-man-band can create such eclectic music. One
needs to see it to believe it.

2001. They played their first concert abroad
in London, and then went on to the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival, where they played 18 concerts
in 14 days. Nominated “Pick of the Fringe,”

over four continents, including dates in New
Zealand, the United States, United Kingdom,
Japan, Australia and Indonesia. In 2003 they
toured the UK twice, as well as Australia,
Germany, Singapore, and Reunion.

acclaimed film on Mumbai 1993 riots. Music score
of Indian Ocean for the film is one of its
