Paulo Mattioli & Ujjayi Soundsystem is a mixture of house, ambient and electronica music.  To get a better picture of what this band is about, check out their MySpace title, "live your passion!"  Their profile picture is the front man who looks and acts like he could be in an infomercial, though in here he is in a yoga pose with no shirt and pants with some oriental writing on it.  He began a random bongo duet with another band member while the other members were setting up the rest.  After he plays a little more on the fly, singing, "I got the sound check blues."

The first song, starting on guitar brought in three belly dancers who wore flowing and flittering sheets that they whirled around.  The song seemed to be another random jam session and after they said, "We'll call it, Indiefest."  The first real song had African musical influence.  There were "hoo ha"s that can also be heard on an Aqua song.  People were clapping and during the song the infomercial man went down to play around a belly dancer in a kind of attempt at a metaphorical sensual theater act.

One of the belly dancers came on for the next song wearing a shiny gold top and used a hula hoop in her moderately impressive dance.  A woman who joined the band on the stage had to share a microphone and did not have a major part until another song where she was the featured singer.  The infomercial man was a wanderer once again, going off the stage.  After this a new belly dancer came on and was introduced as bringing a surprise.  The surprise was a snake, clenching a gut feeling that the inadequacies of the music needed these visual distractions.  The poor snake, forced to participate did not bite or strangle as some may have hoped, but flicked its little tongue as it tried to find an escape from the song.

The last song had the band teach the crowd to sing along to, "One people, one planet, one tribe."  It was a nice sentiment, but not in a style of chant I would follow.  Some did and danced around with them in front of the stage, while most stayed seated.  The belly dancers were trained to get people into it and tried to pull people out of their chairs.  Most of these people were corralled into the cheesy chant song.  The music went past their time a few minutes, but they did not pull the plug on this group as they did for the next and far more interesting band, MC Flow.  Poor choice Indiefest, shame on you.
