Mr Vasu Dixit

Vasu Dixit Collective (VDC) is an ensemble of like-minded musicians and artists, whose collaboration blends musicianship, creativity and tradition. VDC seeks to inspire community and compassion through music made together.

VDC plays Folk-Rock fusion music, both in Kannada and Hindi; with special renditions of poems by great saint poets like Purandaradasa, Basavanna and Kabir. VDC’s collection is rich with contributions from many poets, lyricists and writers. giving the songs a refreshing interpretation and the depth that matches Vasu’s high-energy and soulful tunes. VDC is a string from Vasu’s journey, a musical tryst to find an artist within. Be it VDC, Swarathma or on his own, his rich vocal style, wide range and deep passion is powered by free-spirited celebration of life. A composer, musician and filmmaker in equal measure, brings many nuances of art into one space. Here are few of his songs: Ragi Tandira: https://youtu.be/4k2n8RjgYfw Mullu: https://youtu.be/0vvBXdHfOvU Amma: https://youtu.be/SqlPS_q638Q Tarakka Bindige : https://youtu.be/AAhIn2nLF0k Agalla Anbeda : https://youtu.be/Dgvf0kuwnJ4 Kelabyada : https://youtu.be/Q2REC8uG3C8 Puksatte Life : https://youtu.be/_c7pUI0lU8w Ruk Ja : https://youtu.be/6srFX2Vt9MU Maula : https://youtu.be/8LRCyewdCXI
