Description

Indian Summer of Love finds The Bongolian immersed in a new set of sounds and influences for a new Belle Epoch. Its a musical landscape informed by the Sixties psychedelia of India via a Haight Ashbury happening. Its a kaleidoscopic vision that takes us from a 20th century Fin de Siècle and lands us in the here and now of the 21st Century. Its for dancers, for seekers and is all underscored by The Bongolians trademark heavy rhythms and breaks. Its another fine instalment of essential cuts for the dancefloor and for high fidelity listening, quality is guaranteed. From the East to the West, welcome to the Indian Summer of Love. Nasser Bouzida performs drums, percussion, guitars and keys whilst the album features several new flavours to the Bongolian sound with the prominent instrumentation of sitars and bansuri, along with flute, trumpet, saxophone and trombone performances from several stellular international guest musicians.
