I’m really pleased to contribute a new original track to the album and art/documentary exhibition project “This is Kafala”, which is bringing awareness and helping to dismantle modern-day slavery of migrant workers across the Middle East. Commissioned by the collective Tse Tse Fly Middle East, in association with the group Migrant Rights, “Revagupti’s Escape” was written during the pandemic, continuing the adaptation of other instruments with the Carnatic violin, treated with percussive music designs, using manodharma / improvisation in ragam Revagupti. Thank you for helping support another rights-advancing project, out on October 09.
