PaGLi by Tritha
It all started with the song "PaGLi" which eventually laid the seeds of the album with the same name which means a crazy woman.
This is the story of Indian woman's metamorphosis from traditions to breaking rules to find her freedom.
This is the story of an Indian classical voice finding solace in craziness and sometimes rather punk moods.
A compilation of songs with different artists from India and Paris, this album truly represents Indian world music from the eyes and voice of a strong Indian girl turning into a woman with radical views and feeling socially responsible.
The song "PaGLi" which Tritha wrote in Paris eventually had friends in India, pushing her to use her filmaking skills and make a video out of the song which got her immense popularity on youtube as an original artist in the capital of India, New Delhi.
Tritha soon formed her original band in India, supported by Paul Schneiter, a french musician living in Delhi and drummer of the band and eventually who partnered with her for the process of her debut album.
