Combining Carnatic, Hindustani, jazz, folk, electronic, and drum'n bass, Vivek Rajagopalan creates rippling sound-scapes that are edgy as much as international. If world music today is a melting pot of cultures & genres, then Vivek's music is a drop of spicy red curry in the concoction. Vivek merges melody (a hallmark of Indian music) with grooves that you'll hear in various corners of the planet. Together it makes a heady mix of energy and melody; something you'll find difficult to remove from your head, and stop your feet from tapping to. His latest album "Moving Images" has been released on Blue Frog Records in July 2008.
