In 2019, Prashanth Pallemoni (Unnayanaa) travelled to Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. During his time there, a chance meeting with a local band - Beta Mbonda Group - offered him an opportunity to engage with their music and gain insight into their lives and cultural context. What began as an informal exchange soon developed into a formal studio recording session, capturing the essence of their collaboration.

Prashanth is now set to present these unique recordings, accompanied by the story of how this cross-cultural project came to life.
