Live show performed by Jugal Vandy on April 10, 2016 at Vanderbilt University.

"Iwoya" is a song originally by Africa's premiere diva, Angélique Kpasseloko Hinto Hounsinou Kandjo Manta Zogbin Kidjo, and is just one consequence of her longer collaboration with both Dave Matthews and the DMB. Kidjo based the lyrics on a Yoruba proverb: "A bird that is burned today will not die unless the faith of the bird ceases."

Jugal Vandy is a pun on the Hindi word, "Jugalbandhi," which refers to the mixing of different styles of music. The group was originally established in 2009 to spread awareness of Indian Fusion music on Vanderbilt University campus and in the greater Nashville area. Yet since then, the group has come to explore all sorts of music including R&B, Afrobeat, Tatar folksong, among many other styles. The group consists of a core set of members who are joined by other talented artists to produce music that reflects a new mix of seemingly disparate styles. We are open to new members, new ideas, and new cultures.
