Electronic Folk

Singing songs in both Hindi and Kannada, the Vasu Dixit Collective perform writings of celebrated poets and lyricists set to a fusion of guitars, vocals and synths. Their repertoire includes special renditions of poems by saint poets such as Purandaradasa, Basavanna, and Kabir that reflect the energetic and soulful performance style of font-man Vasu Dixit. 

A strand from Vasu Dixit’s illustrious journey as a composer, musician, and filmmaker, VDC is a coming together of his many artistic nuances into one space and offers a free-spirited celebration of life. 

Folktronica or electronic folk is a musical genre that combines elements from folk and electronica, frequently incorporating acoustic instruments, particularly stringed ones and embraces a diverse range of influences that vary based on the artists’ sound choices. 

Co-presented and conceptualized in collaboration with Bangalore International Centre, this concert is also part of the multi-arts festival, Unboxing BLR Habba taking place across Bengaluru city from 1st to 10th December.
