Contra – Vandana
Released August 2019
Contra by Brooklyn based artist Vandana comprises of re-imaginations of Indian and Pakistani songs from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Vandana’s aim has been to re-discover these songs which she grew up listening to, as an avant-pop, experimental expression.
She says that it’s an interesting opportunity for art as play and translating Indian and Pakistani artists and composers for different audiences, for uncovering new possibilities within the familiar in both parts of the world.
