Watch: ‘Bandeh’ – Indian Ocean

Indian Ocean played the final curated performance of Baajaa Gaajaa 2010 on Sunday, February 7. Their set was the highlight of the final day of the event, bringing to a close a remarkable musical experience.

Following the loss of tabla player and vocalist Asheem Chakravarty, the band has been touring with two replacements. After watching the performance at the beautiful Ishanya amphitheatre, it is safe to say that the band still has it. The energy, the on-stage fooling around, and the distinct Indian Ocean charisma is still intact. The set included all the band’s biggest hits including ‘Kandisa’, ‘Maa Rewa’ and this particularly goosebump-inducing version of ‘Bandeh’.
