Indian Blues

Indian Blues

Pune Blues is a blues style founded in Pune, India. Sagar Sarkar is considered the father of this style, and "Contraband" are credited as the earliest practitioners of it, while creating the hippy scene in Pune during the late eighties to the late nineties.

In a rare late nineties interview about their hedonistic lifestyle, Sagar Sarkar is quoted as saying: "The jams we'd had were centered around three guys: Nirmal Kumar, Samuel Wilson and Zubin Balsara. The other prominent guys were Devendra Singh (Devu) and Rohit Nagarkatti. We ran a circuit using little known Pune venues like Nadikinara, Madhur Milan, Jaws and the private houses of anybody who'd cooperate. Anyone who knew about our venues were free to just carry their booze, gals and tune in! We were joined by many guests at all sessions, including the great Sanjay Joseph (guitarist extraordinaire) and Jaideep Narayanan (JD) and Naveen Shastri who are now in Canada."

Rare bootlegs of "Contraband" recordings have been produced by "Studio K" and are highly valued amongst collectors.
