Festival - Gypsy Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band - June 1st and 2nd
Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band
One of India's finest and most exciting brass
bands will be playing two dates in Kent for the Equator Festival
The Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band will be performing on Friday 1st
June at the Ashford Youth Theatre and on Saturday 2nd June at
the Brook Theatre in Chatham.
Originating from Jaipur, the city of the maharajas, the Jaipur Maharaja
Brass Band play a range of traditional brass instruments including
trumpets, trombones, tubas, clarinets and saxophones. Their music blends Indian
melodies, driving brass rhythms and traditional Rajasthani folk music with
popular themes from Bollywood, jazz, funk, pop, reggae?and even a touch of
Hindustani classical music!
A gypsy dancer, famous all over India for her ?cobra dance', and
a fire-eating fakir, who juggles with knives and walks
barefoot on nails and broken glass add to the spectacle; and the result of
this vibrant synthesis of colour, sound and movement never fails to captivate
audiences all over the world. A dazzling display not to be missed!
Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band recently performed in Jaipur - India for former President
Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and in France for the election of the new French
President Fran?ois Hollande.
