Passionate about his own singing too, ever since I have known him; I recall from 1985 at least when he performed harmonies in a band called <em>Voices<\/em> at the Aid Bhopal Concert held in Mumbai. Through the years, there has been every reason to meet him [mostly at concerts\/musicals, though], including at his very own precursor to the Mahindra Blues Festival, <em>One Tree Festival<\/em>, during the 2000s that I regularly frequented \u00a0at Mumbai\u2019s Bandra Kurla Complex. I was amazed to see the likes of The Alan Parsons Live Project, Uriah Heep [it was here that I saw the band perform for a second time in Mumbai; the first time being at Rang Bhavan, either in 1983 or 1984], and the reunion of Indus Creed. Of course, I also saw Blues guitar legend Buddy Guy for the first time here; since then, often a staple at the annual Mahindra Blues Festival that occurs every February in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no denying that Blues was moulded in North America during the 1800s, I remain convinced that its roots still lie within Africa. To support my case, consider an African instrument that goes by the name of <em>akonting<\/em>, which is the very obvious precursor of the banjo, the comparatively modern-day instrument effectively utilised by guitarist Taj Mahal during his performance at an earlier edition of the Festival while playing the Blues; and the roots of the modern-day plectrum, which is utilised to press the strings of the guitar where, originally, a knife was used, a technique that is still common in Western and Central Africa.<\/p>\n<p>With a predominantly \u201cadult\u201d audience expected in attendance at the crowded festival, as per history, it will almost certainly be extremely well organised with the acts divided between the various halls at the venue. Eatables, supported with seating, and multiple choices of cuisine, as well as a hall dedicated for those who prefer partaking a different kind of Blues <em>spirit<\/em>, will exist, and more\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2019 festive season for Blues has officially opened\u2026yet again\u2026not that it had gone anywhere, with the annual Mahindra Blues Festival \u2013 Asia\u2019s largest event for that musical genre \u2013 returning to Mumbai\u2019s Mehboob&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"page-templates\/template-noauthor.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261,850],"tags":[255,257,254,260,222,64,253,256,219,258,259],"class_list":["post-554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-musicfestivals","category-musical-passages","tag-255","tag-bandra","tag-blues","tag-february","tag-festival","tag-introduction","tag-mahindra","tag-mehboob","tag-mumbai","tag-oranjuice","tag-preview"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
