Contra comprises of left-field re-imaginations of Indian and Pakistani classics from the 70's, 80's and 90's. My aim has been to re-discover these songs which I grew up listening to, as an avant-pop, experimental expression.
It's an opportunity for translating Indian and Pakistani artists and composers for different audiences, for uncovering new possibilities within the familiar in both parts of the world.
