babu - up roots - the album launch

Babu is having their album launch at the SABC Auditorium on Friday, 23rd May 2008.


Are you going to ask the question "Who is Babu?" If you are a jazz lover, for sure, you must have seen some of these guys playing at venues around town.

The group consist of:
Kesivan Naidoo - Drums and Cymbals
Reza Khota - Guitar
Ronan Skillen - Tabla and extended percussion
Shane Cooper - Bass

The binding force that brings this band of four highly imaginative and proficient musicians together is respect. Respecting the music and sharing a love for some of the most invigorating improvisational sounds in Jazz over the last 60 years. Drawing inspiration from the searching spirit in Jazz, and its ability to tap into the more complex realms of human experience, the subconscious, perhaps mystical world. This desire to look into the depth of shared musical experience leads us to investigate the improvisational practices of Indian Classical music, which has had an extensive history with spirituality in music.

With great faith, love and a willing audience, the performance occasion can bring our minds together to test the depth of ecstasy in music and leave the room charged with exhilaration, respect and love for all life.
