A new week, a new lady collab for you right here on Maed in India’s annual Ladies Special! On this episode, we’re featuring sister act The Dasgupta Sisters, made up of Paroma and Pragya Dasgupta. Their self-titled EP marries the genres of electronica, jazz and funk to four Chota Khayal bandishes. It’s also a tribute to their mother, a renowned Hindustani classical singer from Kolkata. They tell Mae about what it was like growing up surrounded by renowned musicians, making music with your sibling, and the struggles of women in playback singing in India.

Song List:

Sacred Love (Raag Desh) (01:18 - 04:38)

Love In These Times (Raag Bhimpalasi) (28:31 - 32:17)

Whether it’s a shoegaze band from Chandigarh, thrash metal act from Visakhapatnam, rapper from Kashmir, vocal folk quartet from Kohima, Tamil indie pop act from Madurai, or a singer-songwriter from Mussoorie, Maed in India is where you’ll discover it.

Started in 2015, music nerd and ex-radio presenter Mae Mariyam Thomas showcases the best talent coming out of South Asia and its diaspora. 

The show is India’s first indie music podcast and prides itself on being the premier destination for new music, little known stories that give you a peek into the lives of independent musicians, as well as being an ongoing archive of unreleased music never heard before.

“Remember that in the darkest days when everything stopped, you turned to artists.” - Jishnu Bandyopadhyay
