Coldplay Collaboration:
Amidst rumors of the Coldplay concert being canceled due to ticket sale issues, music composer Mayur Jumani released a desi version of Coldplay’s track “Hymn for the Weekend” for garba nights. Collaborating with Darshan Magdum, Jumani infused the song with a traditional garba groove, creating a unique blend of Western and Indian music.
Empowering Children:
Sundar Iyer, founder of the Suryoday Trust, has launched the Rays of Life Foundation to provide education and support to underprivileged children in Mira-Bhayandar. The foundation has started a night school for children living on the streets, offering them a chance to learn and grow. Donations of clothes and funds are welcome to support this noble cause.
Wild Wild Women:
Mumbai’s all-female hip-hop collective, Wild Wild Women, is breaking barriers with their debut show in Kerala. Their performance at the International Indie Music Festival in Kovalam will showcase their empowering and unapologetic music, resonating with diverse listeners. This marks a significant moment for the collective, as they embrace matriarchy and challenge patriarchal norms through their art.
