PRESENTED BY FILIPE PEREZ
In the summer of 2012, the musician Daniel Costa, who has played the sitar with important performers of the Brazilian psychedelic scene, decided to pick up the bass. He met Rodrigo Bourganos, a young multi-instrumentalist that had taken India sitar classes in Brazil with the same teacher. A band called Bombay Groovy was born.
The band began taking shape soon after, with the drummer Leo Costa, an experienced musician in progressive and psychedelic rock plus ethnic percussion. The sitar is a decisive element for the band's sound and reveals the presence of Oriental music. Rodrigo, who also was taught in the Orient by guru Chandranath Battacharya, plays the instrument standing, as an electric guitar, transgressing dogmas of Indian culture by abandoning the lotus posture learned in the Orient.
Yet, they were still missing a harmonic instrument to provide several moods, synesthesae and sound like a guitar, while the sitar itself worked as a “voice” - was introduced a Hammond organ. Daniel invited Jimmy Pappon, a virtuoso pianist that had played in the celebrated tribute to Frank Zappa “Central Scrutinizer”, to handle the Hammond.
Bombay Groovy redraws with personality a new rock concept based on an alliance between East and West. The group's unusual instrument formation, with the metallic sound of sitar; the versatile sound of Hammond; and the complex drums reveal psychedelia, exoticism and a lot of groove.
Once an EP and music video were recorded, the band is launching its first record 'Bombay Groovy' with ten tracks inspired by Ananda Shankar and bands like Led Zeppelin. The album shows a sound experiment that dismisses verbal elements replaced by consistent bass, virtuoso organ, transcendental sitar and a heavy percussion.
