Tuning 2 You: Lost Musicians of India - Season 1 (2017)

On Christmas eve, Soumik arrives in the ex-Portuguese colony of Goa. A global party hub and Orthodox coastal state in one, Goa is a state in flux. An ambitious, young Fado singer, and a wise, old violinist, bring to life the struggle that many Goans feel between a colonial past and modern future, a laid back lifestyle challenged by tourist and consumer culture.

In the tropical climes of verdant Karnataka, Soumik meets powerful dancers. They explain how India's archaic caste system has hurt their lives as performers. Yet here, atop mountains and forests, music and dance are one in the same - an enduring and ancient way of life.

In the world's oldest city of Varanasi, Soumik explores a neighbourhood that has produced five generations of Indian classical masters. He meets widowed women singers who have committed their lives to the Hindu God, Shiva, and a young drummer with the talent to make it big. Dedication to fading classical arts is formidable in this timeless city of religion, tradition and rising commercial interests.
