ChaiTunes | music videos

Posted by
ChaiTunes is a music project where musicians of various genres collaborate to brew a fine blend of music. The collaborative enterprise features live studio-recorded music performances by established and emerging artists. These projects are shared with the world through a series of music videos viewable on the internet. The whole idea of the project is to go to the villages and interior places where the actual talents are hidden, compose a song collaborating artists of different genres, shoot a video live and unplugged and release it for the audience worldwide. When the new generation has almost forgotten the age old traditional music, ChaiTunes Project seeks to build tangible bridges between folk, rock, pop, jazz or blues musicians by finding points of common interest and experience in music. It is a long-term collaborative program in partnership between the artists of different genres and as musicians' communities.

The music at ChaiTunes Project is produced by Jim Ankan Deka. An initiative of Music Malt, ChaiTunes is powered by Eastern Fare and OK! North East.
