Sarod Maestro Soumik Datta launches a new EP JANGAL to protest climate change and deforestation in London on 15 December 2019

“As an artist, I have to believe that we have a duty to rage on, to create, against all odds, against resistance, to play and create. I’ve never had the courage to make music in protest of anything before.

A year later, here is this EP,” Soumik Datta
