GemArts new season launches with the very welcome return of The Ska Vengers, a thoroughly unique 8 piece band based in New Delhi, who blend ‘ska’ rhythms with elements of dub, punk, jazz and rap to come up with a form of music that is refreshingly different, energetic and highly danceable. Not to be missed!
Plus support from local favourites Crossings band.
Presented with Jumpin Hot Club and Ja Live.

‘Energetic, almost eccentric and dramatic music’ – Indian Express

A celebration of creative dissent wherein The Ska Vengers regaled the audience with a dose of quirky political reggae & rap’ – The Hindu
