As the live music capital of the world, Austin attracts a variety of musicians, and with that comes an inherent openness to unexpected combinations of musical influence. Take for example Oliver Rajamani, an Austin- based musician who weaves together Romani melodies, Indian mysticism and old-school country to bring a unique version of Texas music that celebrates diverse cultures.
An award-winning composer and musician, Rajamani will celebrate the release of his latest CD “VASI” with a concert at The Paramount in Austin on Nov. 12.
“Basically, it’s going to be a beautiful evening with a blend of Romani music, with hints of Indian sounds, with western orchestration and English ballads,” Rajamani said. “It’s definitely a new sound. It’s not something you’ll be able to hear somewhere else.”
