The group Babu, consisting of
Kesivan Naidoo - Drums and cymbals,
Reza Khota - Guitar,
Shane Cooper- Bass,
Ronan Skillen - Tabla, Extended Percussion and Didgeridoo,
presented an experience of brilliance at the Mahogany Room, 79 Buitenkant Street, Cape Town on 23 May 2012 with music that range from Fela Kuti to John Coltrane and their own eclectic compositions.
On their website they introduce themselves like this:
"Babu fuses the complexity and vibrancy of jazz with the long-standing improvisational practices of Indian classical music. This fusion of two streams of musical expression taps into the more complex realms of human experience - the subconscious, perhaps mystical world - through the medium of four experienced, diverse, technically-impressive musicians. With great faith, love and a willing audience, the performance occasion can bring minds together to test the depth of ecstasy in music and leave the room charged with exhilaration, respect and love for all life."
