Written in 1918 by Oliver G. Wallace & Harold Weeks, this traditional jazz standard is a favorite of the New Orleans band, The Saint Roch Syncopators. Lyrics are as follows: 
Hindustan, my Hindustan, where we stopped to rest our weary caravan
Hindustan, my Hindustan, where the painted peacock proudly spreads his fan
Hindustan, my Hindustan, where the purple sunbird flashed across the sand
Hindustan, my Hindustan, where I met her and my life began

Hindustan performed by the Saint Roch Syncopators

Formed in New Orleans in the summer of 2015, The Saint Roch Syncopators includes Ryan Robertson on trumpet, Brandon Brunious on banjo, Scotty Yost on trombone and Ed Doskey on sousaphone. The band was formed after Ryan and Brandon became while playing together with the Black Dragons on Frenchmen Street. Scotty and Ryan connected through the Sacramento Jazz Society. Ed played with Brandon in the Ninth Ward Marching Band and was quickly included into what is now the Saint Roch Syncopators.  The name “Saint Roch Syncopators” comes from the neighborhood where both Ryan and Brandon live in New Orleans, Fabourg Saint Roch (pronounced “ SAINT ROCK”). Syncopation is the arrangement of rhythms or accents that forms an off-beat or unexpected sound.
