- A captivating 7-episode documentary series exploring the lives and music of legendary Indian folk musicians. Shot in their hometowns, each episode delves into their unique songwriting styles shaped by their life's journey. Witness unscripted collaborations with renowned producers, crafting meaningful songs of change.
- The objective of the series is to create space for dialogue around songwriting for artists across regions and genres through a focused narrative around one particular artist/group as the key protagonist, preferably with a background in folk. An artist is a sum of many life experiences shaping their creative expression. Having this as a backdrop for each episode, the camera explores the personal journey of a particular artist to identify an overarching theme around their repertoire and style, eventually culminating in a musical expression of the same through a new song composed in a collaborative workshop with the artists/ producers from a different genre. The primary context of the series is songwriting. Songwriting that is lyrical and also based on melody. In addition to their unique and trendsetting contributions, what did the artist bring to the genre of folk music during their time. Any personal intervention in style, form and lyrics will be considered songwriting. Throughout the series, our focus would be to explore those layers around songwriting, specifically in the folk genre. With this as the basis, the project also becomes an opportunity to explore personal stories, characters and various facets of folk tradition across India. Since all songwriting is associated with primary questions of who the artist is, where they are coming from, how their immediate environment shaped them and what lineage and legacy they carry over generations. All of this culminates in this one exercise of songwriting. The seven-part series will explore these stories from various parts of India, capturing the kaleidoscope of artists, their music and personalities from the world of folk.
