Why it matters
The growth of regional indie music scenes reflects a broader trend of linguistic and cultural diversification in the global music industry.
Ashwin Mandoth and Vivek Kiran, two Kannada indie music composers will be releasing their song titled, ‘Neenillade’ on October 6. Neenillade means ‘without you,’ in Kannada and the song justifies this feeling of absence through its lyrics and music. Having worked on this particular track for over a year, the two musicians have a lot to say about the process behind its production.
“I am releasing this song after a gap of two-and-a-half years. We used to practice for six to eight hours daily, apart from live performances,” says Ashwin. “Though I have released three songs with multiple collaborators before, releasing ‘Neenillade’ after such a long gap feels like my debut.”
