Maed in India

We’re more than halfway through Maed in India’s Our Neighbours 2021, but the longest trip of the journey has just begun, because for this episode of the interview series, we’re flying over a couple continents to meet Tamil-Canadian mridangam player, singer & producer Yanchan! He takes Mae through forcing his parents to let him learn the mridangam as a kid, the beauty of beat tapes, and shows her around his hometown – musically, of course – through his latest release, The Scarborough Beat Tape, from which you’ll get to listen to ‘Bluffs’ and ‘Kennedy Station’ at the end of this episode!

Episode 4 goes mellow with headliner Mohit Mukhi in the candid chat and live acoustic set with Mae. But, the warm up comes from Mumbai's punk rockers Blek, as well as Yohan Marshall stripped down. A bonus song that Maed Mae's day is from Chennai post-punk outfit Adam and the Fish Eyed Poets

The world of the interwebs is a wondrous place (most of the time). For Maed in India, it allows us an incredible opportunity to connect with indie artists from across the country. And that’s exactly what we did on this episode! Here to chat about her journey as an artist, winning a Most Promising Artist award (yes, we do find out what she's promising), and the story behind her single Dumplings for the Sad, is Dimapur singer-songwriter Temsu Clover.

Pulling up at the best station from this nation, we have the Ladies Special coming in with Producer & chillwave, trip hop electronica artist from Delhi, Tarana Marwah aka Komorebi. She’s out with a new record that released in Sept 2023 called The Fall. It was a behemoth multimedia project that was 6 years in the making and includes a 6-song album, a 30-page comic book and music videos made with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine. We talk about how family is our kryptonite and invariably the greatest inspiration for her work; how collaboration, as much as it’s fulfilling can also be intimidating; and whether it’s a soliloquy or an intergalactic sci-fi story every record is autobiographical. Also, Tarana is on the lookout for a good choreographer for her next musical venture.

Song List:

The Fall (01:15 to 06:51)

Watch Out (17:14 to 21:15)

Better Not Bitter (26:30 to 31:57)

I Grew Up (48:22 to 54:11)
