Raghu Dixit Project

I happened to know about this when I was seeing MTV alert. The concept is new and different and so I want to share the same. Its about this guy - Raghu Dixit - young, passionate, self - taught musician. He does not have a fixed band. He travels from place to place and those interested can join him and travel along with him. So, the band changes from place to place and he is the only fixed member of the band. Further, his music is a lot of folk combined with rock, pop, jazz and blues that it lacks definition. The advantage is that each member perceives the same song differently. So, you get different beats, rhythms, moods, tempo for each time the same song is played with different members. That's cool isn't it.
His video song Hey Bhagwan seems good. Again it can be interpreted in two ways. The original or the intended interpretation is that every one deserves a second chance at life, for all that the person does or do. The other interpretation is that inspite of all the difficulties and hardships, this life is special and memorable for each and everyone and he is asking God to give a second chance to give this life.

Is this the way, the future of the music is going to be? This is an interesting experiment / project and I am really anxious to know what the general public thinks about the same. For more details on the Raghu Dixit project - http://raghudixit.com/
