They highlighted some of the most exceptional musical expressions from India and around the world, as seen in previous editions.
Members of the Tapi Project expressed their sentiments, stating, “The Jaipur Music Stage is prestigious and provides an excellent platform for us to showcase our performance, which revolves around breaking boundaries, the introspective and transcendental nature of music, and the paradoxical aspects of life. This mirrors the essence of literature at the festival. It’s our first time here, and with poetry being an integral part of our performance, we’re excited to present it to the special audience of the Jaipur Literature Festival. Yes, there will be a new song, and we’re thrilled to debut it at the Jaipur Music Stage.”
