The pioneers of Indian fusion rock are all set to mesmerise music lovers in  Singapore during a Live concert at Gateway Theatre on March 8, 2019. With a career spanning over two decades, Indian Ocean has done countless shows across the world, becoming a name to reckon with in the classical and fusion space and earning a cult following of their own.

Indian Ocean are the latest to enthrall audiences, following unique live events in the recent past including performances by the Shillong Chamber Choir Concert and the mesmerising Shekhar Ravjiani – Haazaron Khwahishien Aisi concert.

They have been invited to play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival multiple times, where they played 18 concerts in 14 days in 2001, and were nominated the Pick of the Fringe. They returned to the Fringe in 2002 and 2003.

The musical style of the band can be at best classified as folk and fusion music. It is an experimental genre, fusing raga (traditional Indian tunes) with rock music, guitars and drums, sometimes using Indian folk songs.
