Maed in India

Another band that returns to the Maed in India fold is Hindi rockers Daira (Ep.86). Out with a new album called Itni Jurrat? The last time we spoke to the band, the episode became a counselling session for their troubles. This time around we talk about Vipreet Buddhi (an improv album they recorded, mix it, master it while on a trip to Manali), Mazedaar Clinic, why musicians have no provident fund, and Raja Thandai in Lucknow.

 

Set List:

Mazedaar (00:59 - 04:50)

Mahaul (22:57 - 26:03)

Lailaaj (36:50 - 41:16)

In light of the upcoming release of Zoya Akhtar’s film, Gully Boy - inspired by the lives of rappers Divine & Naezy - we went back into our Maed in India archives to Mae’s beautifully revealing interview with rapper Naved Shaikh aka Naezy. Though he felt more comfortable conversing in Hindi and Mae’s awkward language skills clearly weren’t up to par, that didn’t hinder the poignant and powerful conversation that ensued. From a local lad living in a Kurla chawl to a high-flying rapper gigging across the country and working with some of the best producers in India, they chatted about a young man’s rise to fame and how he struggled to do what he loves regardless of his success. Hear his performance as he raps acapella on this episode too.

 

Set List:

Aafat - (15:32 - 16:22)

Mere Gully Mein - (26:00 - 26:48)

Police Wala - (35:20 - 36:38)
