Music connects nomads world over

‘NOW’,an orchestra,binding nomadic musicians from different cultures through ‘jugalbandi’ musical concerts seeks to build a common voice for nomads.

“All these communities are distinct from each other but music binds them. They can be linked to each other through a forgotten tone,” says National award winning filmmaker and culture activist couple,Meenakshi and Vinay Rai.

After performing at Gypsy Diaspora in Pondicherry,Bhopal and the national capital’s Dilli Haat,the orchestra is now scheduled to fill the air of Germany,Austria and Switzerland with music.

Meenakshi says,”History is witness to the fact that all the nomadic communities in the world have migrated from India. Now,these communities have acquired different habits,different cultures but something that is still common in them is music.”
