Profile 人物简介

Kirubakaran克鲁巴卡然(from www.apu.com.my)A.P.U Kirubakaran or Kiruba as he is more popularly known as, comes from a long line of Indian classical musicians. His grandfather who was a master musician of Indian percussions taught him the fundamentals of the art. Playing at temples, weddings and festivals gave Kiruba the opportunity to polish his rhythmic skills. Impressed with his prowess in Indian percussions, a well known drummer invited him to perform and experiment on the fusion of Western music with Eastern elements. This experiment proved to be succesful and through this combination, Kiruba has had the opportunity to travel and play with Asiabeat in many international music festivals. Among some of the international musicians that he has performed with are John Kaizan Neptune, Ernie Watts and Jeremy Monteiro. Kiruba has also toured Denmark with World Fusion band “Oriental Mood”. His skills on the Indian percussions have made him a much sought after musician and have been included in many recordings for popular local and Indian Artiste albums. He has also appeared on many musical programmes on RTM and Astro backing local and foreign artistes. Kiruba handles all the main Indian ethnic percussions and is also one of the founding members of the band.
