Jahcub

The amazingly multi-talented musician Jahcub, front man of the band Jahcub & The Chosen Ones. He is currently on tour in the UK but is based out of India these days.

 

I met him when we were working on a documentary about Mumbai musicians, and the energy he exuberates;the passion he brings is simply best seen than described. As a friend of mine puts it, he is akin to a "modern day Che Guevara".

 

We wanted to interview him for 15 minutes. But the moment the camera went on, Jahcub spoke for 2 hours straight with a fire that was beautiful to watch, discussing music from the viewpoint of politics, poverty economics & creativity.

 

I had to literally interrupt the session a couple times to switch memory cards.

 

Meeting this man was enlightening.

 

PP; quite a bit of work done on this, cos I shot it on really bad white balance; and the lighting was a pain. The original in comments for comparison.
