Bambu Sauce: spicy

Published February 13, 2011

Check out this band from our very own capital. It’s quirky. It’s irreverent. It’s groovy… This rock act blends English and Punjabi in such natural flow that it makes you go happy-crazy not just with the music, but also with the lyrics that oftentimes don’t make sense (and they shouldn’t). Listen to the number Mojambo, and you’ll get a fair idea when their lead singer screams “Mojambo, what is the scene!”

If Mojambo doesn’t do the trick for you, Jiggernaut will make you their fan without thinking twice. It’s a brilliant number musically and content-wise. It’s replete with political connotations and is a peculiar commentary on the current socio-political situation. What is even more remarkable is Bambu Sauce’s ingenious rock version of the Pindi-based Punjabi poet Anwar Masood’s famous poem, Banyaan. They’ve called it Banyanza and turned the nazm into a musical feast changing the mood of the funny lines in a creative manner. It’s rock music at its local best. Watch out you pseudo pop musicians. Bambu Sauce are here, and they taste spicier than anything that’s been on offer in the last few years.
