blueFROG's take on Boi Akih
Boi Akih plays people music, colourful, organic and always passionate. They have evolved their own musical language whereby sound and elements from various traditions take on a new meaning. The trio plays acoustically. However no two compositions sound the same, thanks to the free treatment of composed material.
About Boi Akih
The trio of vocalist Monica Akihary, guitarist Niels Brouwer and Indian percussionist Sandip Bhattcharya—otherwise known as Boi Akih—has been playing together since 2004, and the deep empathy between the three was apparent in a thrilling performance, where the rhythms of India fused with Akihary's Haruku language of the Moluccan islands of Indonesia and some breathless improvisation from all three.

Boi Akih plays people music, colourful, organic and always passionate. Niels and Monica have been working intensively with Sandip Bhattcharya since 2004. In the intervening period their music has undergone an extraordinary development. They have evolved their own musical language whereby sound and elements from various traditions take on a new meaning. Monica’s warmth and charisma is such that even though she is singing in Haruku (a Moluccan language), the listener is immediately drawn into the music.
The trio plays acoustically. However no two compositions sound the same, thanks to the free treatment of composed material, Niels’ inventive guitar playing, the wealth of Monica’s vocal sound and the great diversity of colours from Sandip's range of instruments.
