The Dewarists
2011Seasons & Episode
'The Gypsy' is an ode to wanderlust, featuring Anoushka Shankar on sitar, Sanjeev Shankar on shehnai, and Pirashanna Thevarajah on percussion. Much like the city the episode was filmed in, New Delhi, the track is unapologetically modern, and yet steeped in tradition.
Dualist Inquiry and Advaita travel to Shimla to create a sound that neither have dabbled in before. Watch as they build a musical chemistry and blend their sounds together.
'Qutub Minar' is a song that singer-songwriter Akhu first wrote with Imphal Talkies. The song is about the experiences one man has while taking the historic Qutub Minar from Delhi to Imphal. The song gets fresh legs with Asian Dub Foundation as they add a deep, driving bassline with electro-folk elements on a rock beat.
'The Minstrel's Tale', the song written on the season finale of The Dewarists, is a track about the thoughts of a traveler who's a long way from home. The song has a Celtic melody with a mix of English, Assamese and Hindi lyrics.
