Rumbadoodle is the debut studio album from
Arun Shenoy. It was recorded across the world over the period of two years and was released on August 30, 2012.
The album was nominated for a
Grammy Award in the Best Instrumental Pop album category in February 2013.
The album consists of 11 songs, which are individually named by a wide range of styles that are integrated into every song.
Shenoy contributes all the proceeds from the album to an education fund for underprivileged people in
India.
Composition
The album has a
flamenco feel with fusion influences drawn from contemporary pop,
rock and
jazz.
While he himself claims to have more of a
rock and roll background, he was fascinated by Flamenco from a young age, which drove him to try something unfamiliar. Shenoy has cited
Yanni as a major inspiration for the album.
