The Brown Indian Band is a folk/fusion/jazz LIVE band based out of the party capital of India, Goa. The band features accomplished Indian classical musicians with jazz maestros. The group is led by Colin D'Cruz, bass guitarist. Indian classical music is linear, i.e., it uses one scale at a time to improvise within a composition or raga, whereas jazz holds a broader palette for improvisation because multiple scales are used in it for improvisation. The Brown Indian Band extracts the best of both the forms of improvisation to increase India's contribution to world music.
