Keshavara

The four-piece band Keshavara grew up listening to the soundtracks of Tamil films and clearly have no intention of rolling the credits just yet. Led by the German-Indian Keshav Purushotham, the band blends psychedelic pop with dub and disco, singing in English, German, Tamil or simply making up their own words. On their forthcoming fourth album, ‘Moondram Sevi’, Purushotham’s niece, Sahana Naresh, features on three tracks. In ‘Pambu Mookan Uncle’, they jointly pay tribute to the film characters from their childhood with a disco groove and a dash of house. There are also hints of psychedelic folk, whilst the tension of Italian horror films seeps into the music. In the Bovenzaal, the band will carry that cinematic atmosphere through, complete with colourful costumes and daring headwear.
