The Deccan Traps - Deccan Traps The

Facts Deccan Traps started as a shared passion for rock, funk, jazz and classical music, after growing up listening to Queen and Rainbow, Stevie Wonder and Weather Report, and Mozart and Prokofiev. Big songs need a big singer: Ricardo Afonso, who played the lead role of Galileo in Queen's musical We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre in London, and roles such as Judas in Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar at the Barbican. The bassist has toured as bassist for Queen and Adam Lambert since 2011, with a guitar solo by Brian May. Brian also contributes his voice. Deccan Traps always intended their debut to be a complete work, including individual images for each song and lyrics in the accompanying booklet.
