Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

I started doing what I call Sing, Sing a Song Saturday.  I'm going to post one song on Saturdays that the boys or I like. 

The song may be part of a movie, a kid's video or just a song we like. I'll try and include why we like it and/or the history of the song/singer.

I love the Indian culture. I haven't listened to hardly any bands from India. In the US you have seek out things that are out of the norm it seems.

I saw a documentary and travelogue series called The Dewarists. The show features musicians that collaborate to make original music in different India locations.

The first episode was with Grammy Award-winning songwriter Imogen Heap. The documentary its self is very interesting. There are a lot of instruments that Imogen Heap has made. The episode was filmed am 475 year old Samode Palace. It's on the outskirts of Jaipur in Rajasthan. 

First here is the the collaborated song, Minds Without Fear


If you'd like to watch the documentary about the collaboration, it's really interesting. It is fairly long, but super interesting.


Here is one of Imogen Heap's videos called Lifeline.
