Back in 2010 Orlando happened to meet Sylvester at a house party. Having been friends in Kuwait and playing in different bands, Sylvester as a guitarist for Perfect Strangers with an impeccable capability to sing seconds and Orlando being a keyboardist for Phaze IV and an organist in the Holy Family Cathedral choir, decided to form a band in Canada. As luck would have it, another ex-Kuwaiti, Maurice with a silky smooth voice happened to migrate to Canada and that along with a drummer, a lead guitarist and a bass guitarist inspired the name "desertstorm". All of us having been through the devastating war decided to use the name of the operation desertstorm that freed Kuwait, to bring music and happiness instead of hate and war. Hence the slogan "Make Music, Not War". As circumstance would have it some of our members had to part ways. We then came across a songstress Hazel who was very well known in the Goan music scene. We are now a finely tuned (pun intended) 4-piece band that is completely versatile and ready to go at short notice and perform in tight spots. We have performed for Weddings, Dances, Anniversaries, Christenings, Showers/roce, Backyard parties, Pubs and Year End galas. Also coming from a rich heritage of diverse cultures we can perform in English, Portuguese, Konkani, Hindi and Arabic. Our repertoire ranges from Smooth Jazz love songs to Fusion, Pop, Latin, Reggae and Rock & Roll. Our key outlook on life is to bring joy and music wherever we go. Viva! |
