Indian Vibes celebrates 10 Years - Indian Vibes Neue Generationen e.V. präsentiert:
»Right Here Right Now« (In 2003) von Anand Gandhi
»Thin Air« (In 2000) von Ashim Ahluwalia
EINTRITT FREI Mousonturm, Waldschmidtstraße 4, Frankfurt

 

An exploration of Collective Consciousness through the confluence of words and images. Works on display include single black and white  and colour images, photo essays in black and white and colour, composite images, three dimensional installations and digital slide shows linked only by a common theme WHO AM WE? and a written narrative which moves like a continuous guided meditation.




Thin Air (India) by Ashim Ahluwalia
By turns darkly comic and unsettling, THIN AIR chronicles the lives of three magicians against the backdrop of contemporary Bombay:middleaged Magician Shailendra is a prosaic, small-time entertainer whose entire world hinges on the belief that his audience loves him; 12-year-old childwonder Kruti Parekh is モthe worldメs youngest magician and Indiaメs first test-tube babyヤ; and long-forgotten legend Niranjan Mathur is a fading conjurer, who, having lost his popularity, is gradually beginning to lapse into dementia.

Right Here Right Now (India) by Anand Gandhi
A young man in his haste to go some place takes two actions - he screams at his mother for making him late, and he lovingly appreciates his brother's painting. By doing so, he strikes off two cycles - one of frustration and sorrow and the other of love and joy.

Indian Vibes & 2-Loud present:
"MangoLassiLounge"
ab 22 Uhr
@Alladin's 1001 Nacht
Kurian, D.Genique
Braubachstr. 15 (Im Techn. Rathaus, nähe Römer), Frankfurt

Kurian, member of the Indian Vibes team, gets back to the music, he used to spin when heating up the legendary Indian Night parties at the KOZ Frankfurt and made the party crowd sweat. By the way these were the first 2nd generation parties in Germany at all. This time at the lovingly decorated shisha lounge in the Frankfurt city there will be much more that Asian/Bollywood/Oriental grooves & remixes. D.Genqiue who created a furore with his 2-Loud mixtapes and i.e. deejayed at the official after show parties of the last Xavier Naidoo tour, will come up with his Asian Blackbeats. Kurian and D.Genqiue who know each other since they were kids, are really glad to share their tunes that night and to make everybody happy. A good opportunity as well to discover another facet of Indian Vibes. Sharukh Khan meets Timbaland.

A night to meet good friends and make new ones

Come early to get a free welcome drink.

 


 

"INDIAN VIBES CELEBRATES 10 YEARS
...come and celebrate with us!" ヨ Vol. 3
Saturday, 25 August 07, 8 pm - 10 pm

Live Tabla:Wins Thinamparambil
Visuals:20dre und C.U.Eye

Sachsenhäuser Ufer, Nähe Holbeinsteg, Tiefkai

In August 1997 the very first Indian Vibes Party at the Ostklub attracted 300 people turning the place into an open air party space. モYou can only learn if you go to such an exceptional party like Indian Vibes.ヤ The Frankfurter Rundschau wrote then. It also was the first party at all which brought the new Sound from London to Germany. As a reminiscence to the event we will perform open air again ヨ fresh sounds, new faces, this time at the Museumsuferfest on the Radio X stage.

The Indian influenced club music renewed itself since 1997 and generated many new artists. The new generations of DJs, producers and musicians, pick up current music styles and mix them with Indian elements, now incorporating besides d&b new styles like grime, dub step, neofolk or r&b. We also have changed in the last ten years:new faces, new sounds, and new visuals. Instead of slide shows or blurred psychedelic looking Bollywood films on VHS, both being common only a decade away, we present now live mixed visuals. Only the sweet incense and the spicy samosas are still analogue.

Tabla player Wins performs with us since late 2002. He originates from the south Indian state of Kerala and plays tables since he is eight years old. He learned with his Guru Thengana Jose from Changananchery.

We are happy to present our special guest Selectress Nisha from Club India Berlin. 2006 she lived in Delhi for six months and also deejayed in a couple of clubs there. モT his was very exciting because the city is booming completely and the Indian Sound from the UK like drum&bass and other styles is coming back to the clubs in India.ヤ With her selection Nisha wants to touch people and make them dance as well ヨ with music brings together different cultures.

What sounds strange in the first place is a very successful concept since 15 years. Ten or more musicians on saxophone, trumpet, tuba, sousaphone and drums play a unique mixture from new and old Bollywood classics, Punjabi songs, compositions of the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Bhrangra-rhythms, influenced by jazz, world music and the vibrant London club scene.
