Live at Southbank Centre, London. The music that The Raghu Dixit Project makes, is a true representation of today’s India. Ethnic and rooted at the core, but at the same time, global in its outlook. It’s not a surprise that Raghu has been referred to as one of India’s biggest cultural exports. Following an early move to Bangalore, the Bollywood-focused music industry initially failed to grasp his potent mix of folk, blues, rock, Sufi, funk, reggae, bhangra and Latin. However, he finally broke through and Raghu’s self-titled album became the biggest selling non-Bollywood record in India in 2009. This show, captured in London during 2012, is a revelation and shows that there’s a lot more to Indian music than Bollywood musicals.
