Ceebee runs a lovely resort near Hesaraghatta. With wide open spaces where you can ride a bullock cart, fly kites or play gilli danda, Our Native Village runs purely on solar, wind and biogas power. So when Ceebee said let's have a music festival we said ok and put together a beautiful line up of folk and classical music stressing more on the acoustic side of music. Like it used to be time before megawattage was a word and before urban India grew too big to have any respect for its own roots.

The Music Mint is designing the feel of the show, getting the artistes who have roots so Our Native Village works as the perfect organic backdrop for them. We are all excited. The show's slated for Dec 1st. All the artistes have confirmed. They come from Rajasthan, from Pondicherry, from Kolkatta via Chennai, Sufi and Vachana meet out here in Bangalore. The air will smell sweet far from the wheeze and grind of the city. The music will sound as sweet so you can start listening with your ears and mind again not just headbang like puppets.

We finished preliminary work on Nagabharana's serial. More to go soon. Pinty is working on the Pied Piper of Hamelin with an Indian interpretation. We will soon have to start work on that. Neha sang two numbers for us. We need to fine tune the mix and then you can hear it. See you soon!
