Event Description : Boheme and Art Collide present an evening of modern jazz with Fubar Ghetto.

Fubar Ghetto is a Delhi-based band that blends elements of a wide variety of genres including classic rock, jazz and blues. Fubar Ghetto believes in improvisation and exploring the boundaries of musical structure. The band comprises musicians with up to 20 years of experience in playing, recording and teaching music.

Vikram (Guitars) and Raju (Bass) both prolific musicians in the north east of India had played together during the early 90s. They reunited in Delhi in 2010 to start a modern-jazz project – something of a rarity in India. After jamming regularly for a few months, Raju was introduced to Aditya (Drums) through a common friend. The very first jam session revealed an instant connect between the three musicians and Fubar Ghetto was formed in the summer of 2010. 

The name was suggested by a friend of the band’s when they played their first concert – a charity show near a slum, or ghetto on the banks of the Yamuna river in Delhi. “FUBAR” - a World War II acronym was used to describe the venue implying something that is “fouled up beyond all recognition” and on the inebriated friend’s request, the name Fubar Ghetto just stuck! Since then the band has headlined the National School of Drama’s annual festival, played at Jamia Millia University, The Living Room (TLR), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Under the Banyan Tree (Khan Market) and Baci (Sunder Nagar) to name a few. 

Between 2011-12, the lineup featured German Saxophone player Busso Alvensleben who played with Fubar Ghetto on many occasions. The band is currently active on the live circuit in Delhi and is in the process of recording some of their compositions..
