In our global fight against the pandemic, expressing solidarity and collective spirit through music. Didn't expect this to feel quite so real! Thanks to over 50 participants who joined us from across the globe to encourage this cross-border experiment where musicians in the US and India collaborated over zoom. We will work on the technical audio-visual aspects to improve upon the experience.

Kaida of Social distancing 

22nd March, 2020

As we continue our efforts to curb the COVID-19 pandemic through social distancing, this is an experiment in remote collaboration through music. The power of music and technology to connect, collaborate and spread happiness! Four guru-bhais (students of Pandit Nakul Mishra) recorded their pieces of the famous Beneras gharana Kaida (Dhiga Dhina Tirakit Dhina) at their time and place, several miles apart. The underlying connection was teentaal (16-beats), 110 bpm tempo, Scale C#, and nagma in Charukeshi. Music4Society hopes this concept spreads and such music collaborations increase across borders.
