The Return of Braz Gonsalves

A Documentary on the Life and Times of

Legendary Jazz/Fusion Saxophonist

Braz Gonsalves

Saxophonist Braz Gonsalves has been a living legend in his time and a doyen of the Jazz music genre in India. His footprint is visible across the history of music, from the period when the Portuguese were still colonizers to Independent India, spanning over 80 years as a professional musician.

Raga Rock is a portrait of Indian jazz saxophonist Braz Gonsalves, tracing his musical journey across India, Germany, and Portugal. A pioneer who combined American jazz with Indian classical traditions—especially Carnatic music, Braz shaped the sound of a generation. At the height of his fame, he withdrew from the stage, only to return three decades later with the support of his friends and family. A montage of archival footage, in -house rehearsals, and live performances, Raga Rock lets Braz’s music speak where words fall silent.
