Song against sex crimes remembers Delhi girl - Bangalore-based musician makes music video to encourage people to raise their voices

The Telegraph (June 30, 2013)

In times of one rape news a day, and sometimes more, Assamese musician Jim Ankan Deka has created a music video asking people to speak up against sexual violence. The catalyst — the Delhi bus gang rape — and his driving force, the motto that music has the power to communicate what words often fail to do.

Bangalore-based Deka, the director of the Eastern Fare Music Foundation, is hopeful that his effort, Aawaz, will ensure that at least some people raise their voices. “We want to create an awareness among people to speak up. Hence, the name Aawaz,” he said.  And the musician has a wide target audience.

A dream project for many, and a dream project for me! 

Nothing can beat when musicians and artists from 3 different continents come together to create something as beautiful as "Assam Skies". 

Assam Skies is one such collaborative effort where country musician from US, poet from UK, and folk musicians from India have joined hands to tell a story based on the tea gardens of Assam. 

This has happened for the first time in the history of Assam's music. Folk instruments from Assam are being used for a Country styled English number written by a British poet and sung by an American Country-Folk singer and a Mizo damsel.Releasing "Assam Skies" soon.

Many thanks to all the people involved in this collaborative enterprise.
