CONCEPT: Human migration since the dawn of civilization, and the migration of music with them is as ancient as the history of civilization itself. Migration of music, with the migration of humans is also that ancient. It involves numerous cultures involved in the course, and is celebrating the soul reflected in one another. Now the search for one’s root and identity is the soul of Migrating Music. Migrating Music is the History thriving palpably.
MISSION: The story of migration with its pain and pangs, the legacy of culture that is yet thriving in music of the different places involved, the saga of the ancient civilizations involved which could have a dialogue between them, all these are merging in music to evolve a nascent genre that is being termed as Migrating Music.
DIASPORA: Diaspora, the word is used more broadly to refer to the cultural connections maintained by a group of people who have been dispersed, or who have migrated for that matter, around the globe. Each distinct group or community is different timescales. A key characteristic of Diasporas is that a strong sense of connection to a homeland which is maintained through cultural practices and ways of life. This ‘homeland’ may be imaginary rather than real. Its existence even need not be tied to any desire to ‘return’, and its magnificent outcome Migrating Music.
SILK ROUTE: We need to tread along the paths of the 5th century BC Greece to understand the impact of migration in ancient world, to understand what actually spurred Alexander to move this far with the entire panorama of Hellenic culture. After interactions with many a cultures, it evolved into Hellenistic culture. This path that led Alexander to this part of the world, a very important corridor, to be known as Silk Route afterwards.
Tracing Migrating Music as the outcome of numerous ancient cultures forming a dialect worldwide, delineating the cultural map of a vistas where our souls can speak in one harmonic tone.
Our sweetest songs are those that spell out our saddest thoughts. Cry has been the basic note. And pining for the Ultimate Being, or for our root, finally transcends us to a sense of positivity, beauty. If the world can cry together, can go through a sense of catharsis, and finally can feel the togetherness this way, and can reach out to a better world, therein lies the keynote of all aestheticism.
