The pioneers of Carnatic progressive rock; their genre-specific music represents their true identities and tastes. They call themselves practitioners of Carnatic progressive rock and we call them the heartbeat of the same.

Arivu and the Ambasa Collective

From the folklore, anecdotes and challenges that their ancestors were privy to, Arivu’s & Ambasa Collective’s work have a story that needs to be heard. They possess the power of music to move the public with their contemporary music scene.

Job Kurian Live

Job Kurian live is synonymous with soulful music, the kind that takes you on a journey and nourishes your being. His music has ‘Kerala’s soul wrapped in an international sound’ which gives him the edge.

Lagori

Sithara’s Project malabaricus

In the mesmerising voice of their front-woman, two time state award winner Sithara Krishnakumar, the band brings Malabar and her people to life.

Street Academics

Street Academics is a collective of rappers based out of various districts of Kerala noted for their contemporary and philosophical themes ranging from social realism to dystopian fantasy.
