Kicking off our 2022 studio sessions is Bangalore folk rock band Swarathma! They talk to Mae about their time (and money) during the pandemic, they explain their exquisitely worded band member bios, unpack their relationship with social causes, and talk about a musical project that helped tribal musicians from across the country make their own original music. Speaking of original music, get ready for live performances of 4 songs that span the band’s rich discography from the last 20 years.. Song List: Aasman Ki Dukaan (00:59 - 06:57) Mushkil Mein Jeena (14:28 - 20:28) Raah-e-Fakira (30:08 - 35:28) Dus Minute Aur (50:22 - 54:22) Swarathma Vasu Dixit - Vocals & acoustic guitar Jishnu Dasgupta - Bass guitar & backing vocals Sanjeev Nayak - Violin Varun Murali - Lead guitar Vinay Ramakrishnan - Drums   Follow Swarathma: Instagram @swarathma Facebook @swarathma Twitter @swarathma Come be our friend: Facebook @maedinindia Instagram @maedinindia Twitter @maedinindia CREDITS: Host: Mae Twitter: @maebemaebe Instagram: @maemariyam Audio Editor Post: Kartik Kulkarni Producer: Shaun Fanthome and Husein Haveliwala
