Event Type

Genre : Music - Folk/blues/world

Description

Ajay Srivastav is a critically acclaimed musician who reflects the life and lessons learnt as a British born artist of Indian heritage, with uplifting songs of protest and change. His unique rootsy guitar style is layered with inflections of sitar and sarod. This ability to merge scales, and techniques from classical Indian music with slide guitar playing, are down to his continual search for commonality where there is difference. ?The fusion happened inside me? what you hear is the sound of my varied experiences. Breaking down musical boundaries comes easy when you?ve spent your life living at the crossroads of different cultures.?
A seasoned musician and performer, Ajay has played guitar in the studio and on stage with diverse range of artists including Gregory Isaacs, DJ Ritu, Jah Wobble and Zakir Hussain. Then, whilst visiting his ancestral home in the ancient city of Varanasi, he took the time out to draw on his experiences and influences to develop his own musical vison. His albums ?Karmic Blues? and ?Powerless? are the perfect antidote to the polarised times we live in, exploring issues of division, identity, mental health, inequality and faith. Often asking big questions and offering searing insights grounded in peace, positivity, and redemption. Listen in, you?ll hear a lifetime between those notes.

Vinod Kerai accompanies Ajay as an accomplished tabla player. Last time they played here he explained how he manages to make so may notes come from a deceptively simple instrument.

This is a return visit from Ajay and Venod. On exiting last time, several members of the audience said that it was one of the best concerts they had ever been to. I had to agree. Interesting and entertaining.

Expect a friendly, cosy, comfortable venue on one level with air con, a bar and hot and cold drinks. Also cake and the now famous raffle.
***Note the later than normal start time of 8pm. Finishes 10.00 ish***
The first hour only is livestreamed. www.rosslyncourt.com/concerts
