With this aim My Country My Music was curated where in masters of folk music came together and a very contemporary yet culturally rich piece was projected for the audience. We are very happy to receive a spectacular response at NH7 weekender this year and we consider the festival a benchmark for us to reach out to the youth as it cuts across all kinds of language barriers, music genres, caste, creed, religion. We are very excited and preparing for our upcoming projects which are in the pipeline.”
