Merging Dystopia with Utopia through Music and other Paradoxes with Bodhisattwa Ghosh

With an international touring career spanning over 22 countries, Kolkata-bred Guitarist/Composer Bodhisatwa Ghosh’s body of work with his Avant-Garde/Jazz trio promises to be the building blocks of contemporary Indian music history. A theory supported by the mammothly adventurous nature of their upcoming endeavor as they prepare to collaborate with cutting-edge alternative/Jazz/Improvised Mimika Orchestra over the next few weeks. The first of its kind for an independent Indian band to undertake.

I catch up with long-time friend and collaborator in an informal exchange on where it all began, the dichotomies of being a third-generation contemporary Indian musician, and dig deeper into the psyche of a musician whose work ethic strongly contradicts the apparent surface-level dystopian nature of the image it has been reputed to portray.
