Lou Majaw and Friends LIVE @ TGIOF 2011
|
Except
for his absolute devotion to Bob Dylan in his music, Shillong's legendary
bluesman Lou Majaw is nothing like the sombre American folk icon in form. It
takes a while to get over the colourful spectacle that Lou Majaw is on stage
right from the fluorescent green beads around his neck that look like an
extension of his fitting neon green sleeveless Tee to his denim hot pants and
mismatched bright yellow and orange socks.
For
a 63 year-old, Majaw is in his prime, delivering covers such as Let The Good
Times Roll with growl and an evocative Khasi (Meghalaya's regional language)
number with equal finesse. Majaw, accompanied by a spirited band of
Shillong-based musicians who were half his age, is also a generous musician. These
powerful music warriors come from the Abode of the Clouds to form the energetic
Lou Majaw and Friends, with areas of music ranging from Folk, Country, Blues,
Rock n Roll, Rock and Reggae.
If
you want fun on tap, make sure you don’t miss Majaw's next gig at TGIOF
2011, this November.
