As the month of August chugs along and given the times we live in, filled with racism, political unrest, fear of immigrants, threats of war, economic crisis and a global pandemic, we felt that it is important to continue to remind each other that no matter where you come from we are all people and our love for music is not confined by geographic boundaries. So, continuing our celebration of music from across our borders, we bring you another mixtape of songs from our neighbours.

Janoobi Khargosh - Wizard (01:43 - 05:42)

The month of August is special because it’s when India celebrates its independence. Considering the times we live in, which is tough and tense. I think it’s important that we all know and realise that despite the untoward circumstances that there is love and camaraderie between all of us, regardless of politics and borders. In this episode, I’m not bringing you indie music from India, but I've decided to travel just across our borders to our neighbours abode to bring you songs from independent music scenes in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

Song List:

The Soul - Lucky Child (02:00 - 07:46)

The Soul - Optical Illusion  (07:47 - 13:46)

DickTeyder - Ami ki Kolagach  (16:10 - 20:22)

Biryani Brothers - Sab Theek Ho Jaye Ga  (24:02 - 28:08)

Yugal Gurung - Koshish  (29:27 - 33:34)

Sikandar Ka Mandar - Himmat  (34:35 - 37:35)
