Lotus Cafe regulars consider the Brown Indian Band part of the furniture even though, they haven't been playing here that long. Maybe it's because the guys are propped up on couches at the JW Marriott hotel's lobby. And no, they don't play lounge music, their sound is a unique fusion of jazz and Indian classical styles. "We always wanted to create and showcase our own music," says the bandleader and bassplayer Colin D'Cruz, who with their manager Ravi Nayar, dreamt up this hybrdised style. "However this remained a dream because of a lack of platform to perform. This only became a reality when the JW Marriott hotel came up with a platform to showcase this innovative style of music."
