KMB to stage lively reggae concert

Into its last week and just through with the performing-art segment, Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) will stage a lively reggae concert in its grand closing ceremony to be held this Saturday evening, a day before the conclusion of the 108-day festival that has so far brought in more than five lakh visitors.
Well-known Delhi-based band Ska Vengers will present a two-hour show at Ernakulam's Durbar Hall Ground, which will be the venue for the March 28 finale that will feature a special address by Kerala Governor Justice (retd) P Sathasivam, who will be honouring patrons and supporters of the Kochi Biennale Foundation, according to a release.

The 2009-formed Ska Vengers is known for blending Ska rythms with lements of dub, punk, jazz and rap, making it refreshingly different music that is not just energetic but highly danceable.
Teeming with youngsters, it has Samara Chopra and Delhi Sultanate on the vocals, besides Stefan 'Flexi' Kaye (organ/percussion), Raghav 'Diggy' Dang (guitars), Tony Guinard (bass), Rie Ona (alto saxophone) and Shirish Malhotra (tenor Saxophone).
