When any person lands up in the midst of host, Mae on Maed in India, they will be subjected to lots of love but equal amounts of torture and will be squeezed for information. She will bring you moments from your past that even you personally have buried in the recess of your memories. The scrutiny and depth of research she digs up on her guests is equivalent to FBI/CIA/RAW/Private detective level intelligence gathering. And today, her victim is folk pop singer-songwriter Rounak Maiti. And we discuss his last album Bengali Cowboy, his new album coming soon, and a blog post he wrote once.

 

Set List:

My Diary (00:43 - 06:20)

Room With A View (15:24 - 20:35)

Heavenly Machines (31:34 - 34:51)

Turn Inside (45:39 - 50:24)

Speak Out Loud (50:34 - 55:10)

 

Musicians:

Rounak Maiti - Vocals / Guitar / Keys                    

Soutrik (Zico) Chakraborty - Guitar

Siddhant Vetekar - Bass

Mae: “So I called my friend Aditi and I asked her, ‘Hey I know that the mission of your crew, Ladies Compartment, is to work with and bring together female musicians and I was wondering if you’d like to do that on Maed in india”
