Salma Gandhi
The Quest For Nonsense Never Ends
Salma Gandhi is a Swedish instrumental band which formed in 2005 in Malmo. The members had been active in the stoner/metal/punkscene in Malmo for years and were hungry to create something totally different. After hours of jam sessions and lots of fun they started to find some kind of a sound and concept and started making compositions. The musical genre is sometimes described as '70s film music or stoner-jazz and the goal of the band is to give the recipient a somewhat narrative musical trip with a gallery of strange characters and different murky landscapes popping up along the way. Some of the main influenses are Pink Floyd, Oddjob, The Ethiopiques, Boris Vian and Alfred Jarry.
