Kicking off our 2022 studio sessions is Bangalore folk rock band Swarathma! They talk to Mae about their time (and money) during the pandemic, they explain their exquisitely worded band member bios, unpack their relationship with social causes, and talk about a musical project that helped tribal musicians from across the country make their own original music. Speaking of original music, get ready for live performances of 4 songs that span the band’s rich discography from the last 20 years..

Aasman Ki Dukaan (00:59 - 06:57)

Mushkil Mein Jeena (14:28 - 20:28)
