Lucas Van Merwijk has been at the forefront of the European Jazz, Latin and Percussion scene for over 25 years. The award-winning musician from Netherlands was in the city recently to play to a packed crowd at Indigo Live Music Bar with his band the Van Merwijk Music Machine.
A master of his own signature style, Lucas blends a mix of Cuban, Brazilian and North American rhythms, characterised by powerful percussion and splendid technical skills, into a unique music experience.
Excited about playing in Bengaluru, Lucas says he was really looking forward to this gig. “The music scene in the city is really fresh and I will check out as much of it as possible during my stay here. This is my second time in India but the first time I’m playing here. Music lovers can always expect a contemporary approach to our Cuban-styled music since it’s very swinging and groovy. It’s very adventurous music and we try to make the experience different every time.”
Lucas adds that he will be very glad if his listeners leave after each gig feeling better than how they were before entering the room. “Our music is positive and musically interesting. The fun thing about this music is people who are not into jazz too will enjoy it.”
