Panaji, Dec 8 (UNI) French jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz will perform along with contemporary urban
musicians - electronic composer Riatsu at the Goa International Jazz Festival 2017 on December 10 at
a resort at Bagmalo in South Goa.
According to the festival organisers, as part of the Bonjour India celebrations across the country, Erik Truffaz will be part of the event wherein he will collaborate with contemporary urban musicians - electronic composer Riatsu, along with percussionist Anand Bhagat and multi-instrumentalist Neil Gomes – for a multi-city tour through India.
Erik Truffaz has gained prominence in the international jazz community for fusing the post bebop and early fusion styles of trumpet legend Miles Davis with more contemporary forms of music such as electronica, acid rock, and hip-hop. The result is a musical synthesis that is often nostalgic yet simultaneously fresh, inspiring listeners to hit the dance floor.
Riatsu (a recording name of Shadaab Kadri) is an ambient electronic musician from Mumbai, India. With his drone metal band Pangea, Riatsu explores soundtrack music and background scores for visual imagination in a sea of sound that stretches from ambient techno to dark ambient.
Second edition of Goa International Jazz Live Festival (GIJLF) 2017 is to be held on December 9 and 10 at a resort at Santarem beach in South Goa.
