Rashtriya Swing Sena

Think about that sequence for a second. The concept of a back-to-back, or "b2b", gig is usually reserved for two DJs who play simultaneously. It's rare, in fact almost unheard of, for a couple of live acts to join each other on stage for the entire duration of a concert. What makes it all even more impressive is that both the bands play divergent music. The cheekily-named RSS, like we said, plays mainly jazz. But Many Roots belts out a mix of Afro-Cuban and neo-soul music, making extensive use of instruments like a saxophone, trumpet, keyboard and percussions. On occasion, they even have a rapper joining forces with them — MC Tod Fod of city-based hip-hop crew Swadesi — as will be the case this evening.

Khan admits that they go with a curtailed line-up for gigs at smaller venues. But it will be a full house at this concert. The venue is indoors, unlike at the weekend's festival, though going by what we'd heard, the audience will still be lost in music. So take a break from electronica if that's what you've mostly been subjected to and rediscover the magic of a straight-up, no-nonsense live gig.
