Madras Special - New Generation

w/ Zoltan Lantos, Reza Askari, Sebastian Müller, Ramesh Shotham

"...a rousing sound trip through different musical cultures and moods, a style mixture of Indian classical music, jazz, funk, rock, world music and beyond that something completely their own." (Klaus Mümpfer)

"For more than 20 years Ramesh Shotham has been living in Cologne and has become a formative bridge builder between different musical cultures. In addition to collaborations with international music greats from jazz and world, Shotham has always had his own projects, including Madras Special.
Shotham has expanded Madras Special with two exciting young musicians - Reza Askari and Sebastian Müller - from the Cologne scene, who shape the band's sound with their fresh style, energy and joy of playing.
The international line-up includes musicians from India, Germany, Iran and Hungary, each of whom brings exciting blends of different musical cultures. The result is music in which the individual components no longer have to be filtered out in order to immerse oneself in the world of this new sound. The album here it is takes the listener on an acoustic journey." (Klaus Mümpfer)
