About The Event
The story of why not...?
It is August 2018 when Sarita Rav and Otto de Jong meet each other in Sarita’s hometown Amber, Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, India.
Sarita is a singer and teaches music classes to Indians and travelers from abroad, Otto is a drummer and one of those travelers who’s interested in Indian music. After a few lessons, some little jams together and passionate conversations about each other's musical cultures they decide to undertake an adventure, start a band and tour together.
In April and May 2019, they undertook their first tour. For a month they played in The Netherlands and France with an unusual and minimalistic setup of just vocals and drums. Their pure and dynamic mix of North Indian songs and ragas with Western indie and jazz-influenced drums is being received with great enthusiasm.
It did not end there, the story continues... After the first tour, Sarita and Otto decided to take this international project to the next level under the name of Jaipur Junction. In October and November of 2019, they will be touring in Europe again and start recording their first album, which will be released in 2020... Why not...?
