THE THREE SEAS -Indo-Australian Baul Music Collaboration
Get Direction

The Three Seas Raju Das Baul – vocal + khamak, Deo Ashis Mothey – vocal + esraj + dotora + guitar, Gaurab Chatterjee – drums + dubki, Matt Keegan – saxophone + clarinet, Cameron Dyell – bass, FX. The Three Seas fuses modern Australian jazz with West Bengali and Nepalese folk music creating a unique, soulful sonic imprint that radiates joy.

Soaring Baul vocals, a menagerie of traditional stringed instruments, Himalayan mystique, and West Bengali beats are juxtaposed against the deep groove of the baritone saxophone creating an energetic, uplifting musical alchemy. The remarkable bandmates were drawn together by mutual respect for their distinct and diverse cultural origins and shared passion for creating songs that resonate universally.

A collaborative project ten years in the making, the band has released two albums to critical acclaim and tour regularly in Australia and India. Recent performances include The Indian Museum Kolkata, The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Kochi – Muzuiris Biennale, Parramasala Festival, Royal Mumbai Opera House, OzAsia Festival.
