At the annual two-day Brands & Entertainment conference that occurred in Mumbai on June 14 and 15 this year was a fabulous fire chat on day one that occurred between VG Jairam<\/strong>, Founder \u2013 Hyperlink Brand Solutions, and Jay Shah<\/strong>, Vice President \u2013 Cultural Outreach, Mahindra & Mahindra, about the Mahindra\u2019s association with cultural activities.<\/p>\n

Among other things discussed, Shah spoke about how Mahindra\u2019s aimed to create awareness about the genre of Blues with the genesis of the Mahindra Blues Festival in 2011, but with a strategic interest in organising the fest too. \u201cWe wanted to sell our tractors in the U.S., but they were always suspicious about why they should patronize an Indian company attempting to do so. No amount of advertising could change their minds. Then, Mr. (Anand) Mahindra suggested that to sell tractors in the Mississippi Delta region, which is where the earliest style of Blues emerged and, though a declining genre in popularity, let\u2019s create an event that would link us directly to the U.S. And, with that, we created the Mahindra Blues Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shah\u2019s explanation completely validates a media release issued by the Mahindra Group in or about December 2010, in which Anand Mahindra, current chairperson, had stated: “The Blues, an American art form, ironically doesn\u2019t get as much attention as it deserves in the country of its origin and, indeed, around the world. We would like the Mahindra Blues Festival to give this genre of music an overseas platform in the way that Montreux has done for Jazz.” Since then, the \u2018Mahindra Blues Weekend Chicago\u2019 is held twice a year in partnership with \u201cBuddy Guys Legends\u201d. This year, on July 15 in New York City, the Mahindra Blues Festival<\/strong>, in conjunction with Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, celebrates the many communities connected to the Blues with performances at two locations.<\/p>\n

On that date, at 6:00 pm, the Surat-bred Aayushi Karnik<\/strong>, a self-taught Blues guitarist who has performed alongside Indian guitar players such as Rudy Wallang and Sanjay Divecha, performs at The Dance Floor at Josie Robertson Plaza\u2014alongside two NYC veterans, Russell Hall and Cameron MacIntosh, playing original music fusing Blues guitar and jazz harmony. Later that evening, at 7:30 pm, at Damrosch Park, attendees can soak into the incredible vocal stylings of Brianna Thomas and Ella Sang The Blues, followed by the Corey Harris Band, known for combining New Orleans, Caribbean, and African influences into their eclectic sound.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, closer home and in Mumbai, Jio World Centre\u2019s youthful and energetic Sreejata Gupta<\/strong> \u2013 whose passion for music is second to none to the extent that she travelled to London\u2019s Hyde Park on July 8, 2018 to seek virtuoso guitarist Eric Clapton\u2019s live performance \u2013 extended the sounds of Blues by curating two back-to-back performances by guitarists who are intrinsically linked with the genre: The Arinjoy Trio (June 7) and Rudy & The Kool Kats (June 8), at the Centre\u2019s Studio Theatre.<\/p>\n

Kolkata\u2019s Arinjoy Trio<\/strong> \u2013 winners of the Mahindra Blues Band Hunt 2018 \u2013 who had the pride of opening the proceedings of the Mahindra Blues Festival 2023, appropriately focused their Jio World gig on selections off their 2019 eponymously-titled debut album (released on vinyl by Free School Street Records LLP), featuring guitarist-vocalist Arinjoy Sarkar and accompanied by Sounak Roy on drums and Aakash Ganguly on bass.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Arinjoy Sarkar<\/p><\/div>\n

How appropriate indeed it turned out to be with the band\u2019s core sound having taken great musical strides forward through their brief career, whether in guitarist Arinjoy Sarkar\u2019s songwriting or in his musicianship as he held Blues patterns together across several songs during his live performance, commencing with \u201cBaby You’re So Fine\u201d. While the other rockers were outstanding too, they included the hard rock of \u00a0\u201cWho You Are\u201d and the Blues-tinged \u201cCold Cold Cold\u201d. Arinjoy played a spirited instrumental too, \u201cBlues For Kirk\u201d, dedicated to US-based guitarist Kirk Fletcher, a one-time member of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, the very band in which Stevie Ray Vaughan\u2019s older brother, Jimmy, was previously a member (of whom, more later). But two songs that just elevated the Arinjoy Trio\u2019s performance to the next level was Arinjoy\u2019s very own, solo \u201cDon\u2019t Leave Me Behind\u201d, this writer\u2019s favourite composition of his, and then the Trio\u2019s rendition of BB King\u2019s \u201cHelp The Poor\u201d, the original of which this writer first heard during a listening session that was organised at a venue known as Adagio, in Mumbai\u2019s Bandra, when a vinyl of King\u2019s \u2018Live At The Regal\u2019 was showcased.<\/p>\n

The Arinjoy Trio also played tracks from the band’s forthcoming EP (produced by another remarkable guitarist, Amyt Datta), including \u201cNow I Think We’re Done\u201d, which is ready for launch as this article is being written, but Arinjoy is apparently awaiting a closure of a publishing deal with industry veteran Atul Churamani\u2019s Turnkey Music & Publishing before he does so. The Arinjoy Trio is well known for their electrifying live performances that cover a multitude of Blues styles such as Chicago Blues, Blues rock, and even R&B, becoming one of the more sought-after Blues acts in the country, and they certainly did not disappoint this time too!<\/p>\n

On June 7, Rudy Wallang<\/strong> played with his new Shillong-based band, Rudy & The Kool Kats<\/strong>. For the uninitiated, Rudy is a name synonymous with the Blues in India; founder of India\u2019s premier Blues band, Soulmate, and having been a part of the country\u2019s other iconic bands, The Great Society and Mojo, during the \u201880s and \u201890s. In his quest of continuing to seek fresh musical sounds this time around too, Rudy teamed up with two other guitarists, Shepherd Najiar and Gregory Nongrum of Blue Temptation fame, along with his sons Leon Wallang (bass) & Vincent Tariang (drums), and with Brian Suting (keyboards), to form \u2018Rudy & The Kool Kats\u2019.<\/p>\n

As they balanced a mix of original compositions with covers, the mood was firmly set with originals \u201cChaos City Blues\u201d and \u201cFunkin\u2019 Alive\u201d, but it really was Gregory\u2019s composition, \u201cIf You Really Wanted, You Would\u201d, that shone through\u2026brightly! \u00a0Equally, the covers were pleasant surprises too, \u00a0with amazing renditions of Taj Mahal’s “She Caught The Katy”, the Junior Wells popularized “Messin’ With The Kid” and, of course, the Allman Brothers Band’s “Whipping Post”! On the list of renditions was also the earlier mentioned Vaughan Brothers’ \u2013 Jimmy Vaughan and brother Stevie Ray\u2019s \u2013 \u201cTick Tock\u201d, co-written with Jerry Lynn Williams, who has written songs such as “Forever Man”, “See What Love Can Do”, “Something’s Happening”, “Running On Faith”, and “Pretending” for Eric Clapton. \u201cTick Tock\u201d was a song that was featured on \u2018Family Style\u2019, the only studio album featuring the guitarist brothers, released in 1990, and produced by Chic\u2019s Nile Rodgers.<\/p>\n

It should be noted here that guitarists Arinjoy and Tajdar Junaid guested with Rudy & Kool Kats too, on a couple of numbers, commencing with BB King’s \u201cSweet Little Angel\u201d and, in doing so, showcasing their disparate guitar styles. It was a different vibe, observed Rudy Wallang during the event, and the packed audience really did see Indian Blues history in the making.<\/p>\n

In between the Mahindra Blues and what could be appropriately referred to as the Jio Blues festivities<\/strong>, Mumbai\u2019s Bluebop Caf\u00e9 hosted a Blues and Classic Rock night on May 19 when their resident band then, Wanted Yesterday, commenced their set with Lynyrd Skynyrd\u2019s \u201cWhiskey Rock-A-Roller\u201d from 1975, replete with harp, to a full house; once again reiterating the popularity of Blues.<\/p>\n

So the lesson here is that whenever you are feeling a bit off colour, it\u2019s time for you to check the Blues!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
