Goa-based duo Musica Medicina is coming to Versova’s Harkat Studios for a night of instrumental free-form folk. Comprising musicians Vishesh Kalimero and Rahul Jigyasu, the band’s music is influenced by folk sounds from across the Middle East and Asia, including dhrupad from North India and Rajasthani folk music, bound by a strong contemporary thread. They call it experimental traditional music which sums up the theme of the show and their upcoming album, Traditions without Traditions, Kalimero tells us. “We’ve been experimenting with traditional music from across the world for 10 to 12 years now. So, our music revolves around folk cultures even while our playing style is very contemporary,” he explains.
