Kolkata Calling

Masala Movement had the honour of presenting a musical special at the renowned Museum Ludwig.

In the pho­tog­ra­phy room, the museum were showing twelve pho­to­graphs by Raghubir Singh (1942 Jaipur–1999 New York).

Inspired by the photographer’s atmospheric works and places of creation, me, Keshavara and Vineetha took the audience on a musical journey through time between Kolkata, London and New York.

Listen to my set during the first hour of this lovely evening …

Thanks to Sonja Hempel from the museum for taking great care of us, Prasanna Oommen for recommending us and to Varun Desai for the musical guidance.
