Masala Coffee gears up for their comeback concert in Chennai, which will be a blend of genres, energy, and sounds
-
THE BAND MASALA COFFEE is just like a perfectly brewed cup of java; it’s bold and unpredictable, so much so that the very experience can jolt you awake and keep you coming back for more.
From Carnatic riffs to rock rhythms, their music doesn’t fit into a cup. When the band burst onto the music scene in 2014 with a peppy reimagining of a Thrissur Pooram folk song in Kaantha Njanum Varaam and a soul-stirring cover of AR Rahman's classic Snehithane, it was quite evident that they weren’t here to play it safe. Now, after a long hiatus, Masala Coffee is set to bring their signature energy back to Chennai at Rise Up Championship (RUC) Foundation’s Pickleball By The Bay and Music Festival from September 26 to 28.
Speaking ahead of the concert, the band’s founder, Varun Sunil, shares what fans can expect.
