Masala Movement had the honour of presenting a musical special at the renowned Museum Ludwig.

In the pho­tog­ra­phy room, the museum presented twelve pho­to­graphs by Raghubir Singh (1942 Jaipur–1999 New York). 

Inspired by the photographer's atmospheric works and places of creation, Manoj Kurian, @keshavara and @vineetha-panalickal took the audience on a musical journey through time between Kolkata, London and New York.

Listen to the first hour of this lovely evening, opened by Manoj Kurian ...
