Bombay Rickey

by

This Brooklyn quintet plays a delightful amalgam of surf rock, exotica, mambo, Bollywood, and light opera – which is to say kitsch of the highest quality. The focus is on Kamala Sankaram, a coloratura soprano who evokes Yma Sumac in “Taki Rari,” Asha Bhosle in Bollywood megahit “Dum Maro Dum,” and every opera diva ever in “Queen of the Rumba.”

Mon., Sept. 8, 9:30 p.m., 2014
