If you’re looking for some refreshing new Indian-fusion music, I have a suggestion.
For those who have watched the episodes already, ‘The Dewarists’ doesn’t need an introduction. For others, ‘The Dewarists’ is a musical television series on Star World India. The series is part music documentary and part travelogue.
The show casts musicians from various parts of the world, collaborating to create original music while traveling across India. The first season featured ten episodes. It featured musicians Imogen Heap, Vishal-Shekhar, Zeb and Haniya, Shantanu Moitra, Swanand Kirkire, Indian Ocean, Mohit Chauhan, Parikrama, Agnee, Shilpa Rao, Shri, Monica Dogra, Rajasthan Roots, Papon, Rabbi Shergill, Shubha Mudgal, Swarathma, Midival Punditz, Karsh Kale, Baiju Dharmajan, Njeralathu Harigovindan, Raghu Dixit and Rewben Mashangva.
The show is hosted by actor-singer Monica Dogra, also seen in Dhobi Ghaat.
If you enjoy watching documentaries relating to music or travel, the episodes should be enjoyable. You can catch all the episodes at http://www.youtube.com/user/DewarsIndia.
Personally, I enjoyed the individual music tracks the best. My favorites? ‘I believe’, ‘Kya khayaal hai’ and ‘Maaya’.
If you’re like me and like to strap your music onto your iPod and hear it on the go, then you can download the individual music tracks (mp3 files) from the links below. This music is free and available on the home site as well, just that it’s a little bit of a pain to get all the tracks. Hope this helps. All the episodes are also available for free viewing by the makers themselves.
