The Fanculos
This horn-fronted, five-peice powerband was dreamt up by Italian/Guyanese, British-born musician Ramon Ibrahim. Ramon was heavily influenced at an early age by British SKA bands such as The Specials, The Beat, Madness, etc. and recently set about writing an original set based on his own interpretation of SKA, reggae and other cool things. Their live set is a mixture of high energy SKA, dub, reggae, funk and even more high-energy SKA! The main focus of this band is live performance, audience interaction, good times and just general fanculery.
The Fanculos are made up of healthy, well-nourished and very talented Mumbai musicians, with Ryan Sadri on tenor sax, JJ on drums, Apurv Isaac (Lala) on guitars and backing vocals, Saurabh Suman (The Prince of Saurabia) on bass, and Ramon Ibrahim on vocals, trombone and keys.
