Since her daughter Adhithi Baskar started learning how to play the piano a few years ago, Radhika Baskar and Adhithi have been having endless jam sessions.
Radhika, with the chordophone instrument, the Veena, and Adhithi, with the classical instrument, the piano. They try to find unique ways to implement Western traditions with Radhika’s classical traditional music. They have composed songs together as a mother-daughter duo and they needed the push to share these songs with the world.
Funded by the Matchmaker MicroGrant through MAC, Radhika was given the golden opportunity to showcase mesmerizing cross-fusion music arrangements weaving together the essence of different musical traditions.
The vibrant and ever-changing MicroGrant initiative by MAC offers financial support to projects spearheaded by artists such as Radhika. These projects forge a strong and meaningful bond with the community, leaving a lasting impression and elevating the city’s artistic presence by garnering attention and amplifying awareness.
