Last week, my band Alif played at the first edition of Spoken Fest 2017 - A festival of words, voices and stories.
It was organised in Mumbai, India and put together by Kommune.

Spoken word, poetry and storytelling is growing in India and has a great crowd following especially in Mumbai. Since Alif is all about telling stories and poetry through music, we were invited to play at the fest.

This was one fest which was impeccably organized! From coordination and communication with the artist to press conferences, backstage, soundcheck, punctuality to performance... everything went so smoothly.
The curation of artists was brilliant and the vibe of the place was amazing as well.

My wife was with me and she captured a few pics.


Here are a couple of pics from the Spoken Fest facebook page:


Soundcheck vibes!

And finally, here is a short clip of our performance at the fest. The audience was super fun, listened to all the poetry and sang along with the songs! Official videos should be out soon.

Thanks for the post. Great pictures too. It is interesting that spoken word is so big in India. Not sure if we have such a big scene in the US, but I really like the idea and hope it grows. Stories are so important to advance culture and understanding.

Yes. It's growing steadily in India. Lot of amazing artists are coming up. And with fests like these, they get a wider platform.

sounds like an amazing event thanks for sharing with us

yup! Cheers!
