The definition of fusion music Ozone is a fusion band based in New Delhi India, which contain pure classical music from Indian culture and just a fragrance of western music in it. We borrow our name as ozone means O (our) ZONE (any encircling or belt like structure).
Since the group was formed, in 2007, ozone has steadily grown to become one of the most respected acts on the Indian music scene. Our sound is a mlange of the styles, moods and textures we have taken in from different cultures and different music systems of the world. Ozone is inspired by the famous band called 'SHAKTI'.
The music of this band is deeply inspired by the famous band of living legends 'SHAKTI '. In our own way, we attempt to dissolve into the world we perceive, and discover music that resonates around us.
Many great musicians, especially in the Indian Classical arena, speak of the pursuit of that incredible moment during performance when the musician becomes the music and forgets his own identity. .
In our composition you will find the mixture of ragas (from Indian classical traditional music) with combination of western music together.
Ozone played in many prestigious festivals in India as well in abroad like in karia music festival (Japan), Namastey India festival Tokyo (Japan). Etc
