Co-organized by Mayun Kaluthantri and Imaad Majeed, these monsoon season gatherings, brings together a carefully curated lineup of poets and musicians who explore & experiment at the intersections of poetry & sound, blending words and music into vivid sonic landscapes as a listening experience.

Drawing from a rich history of poetic-musical exploration, especially from communities & periods of when freedom of expression was volatile, each Monsoon Blues & Co. gathering offers performances from a diverse range of artists, reading/spoken styles and musical genres, inviting the audience to go within and let the interplay of sound and word evoke memory, experience & emotion.
