Beches Indian Brew - Congo Square - live version below; full album stream here
A true meeting between Sweden and India took place in January 2016 when Bengt Berger’s big group Beches Brew toured India and were joined in our music by eminent Indian masters of the Karnatic as well as the Hindustani traditions. Then, in October the Karnatic vocal and violin maestros Akkarai Sisters plus two virtuoso percussionists, Jayachandra Rao and Shree Sundarkumar, joined us for the Swedish leg of the project, a tour during which we did these recordings with music as golden as the print on the cover. An extra bonus is the presence of legendary Ghanaian Master Drummer Doe Kushiator.
