Ok so now that we are getting closer we will begin talking about our festival as how we completed it last year and how we grew from an idea to a full blown festival.
Mandala was basically an idea to meet like minded people who have been seperated by the winds of time. Couple of the guys who started Mandala met in Orissa and decided to sit and talk about having a festival away from the city life in our small corner fo the paradise.
Choosing Orissa as our location was because of the simplicity and serene and peaceful location and extremely friendly locals who looked forward to something like this.
Mandala Project is our answer to all the people who kept saying why is good electronic music dying in India. For people who kept saying that they want good music and only that. It is an avenue for people who kept saying that they are only in it for the music.
Well we all have been to a point in our lives when we listen to music and decide this is our calling. Maybe it be rock,reggae or anything at all.We listen to it , enjoy it and then eventually idolise it. Music is and always will be the most purest form of joy and sound representation of a persons feelings.
Well rather than being more philoshipical I just wanna say that Mandala Project is just trying to do just that. We at Mandala last year made sure we delivered what we promised.
However being our first year we were severly handicapped and also our artists of the first year failed to show up . Not to be thrown off track we pulled up our socks and with the help of a couple of artists were able to pull of the festival with them playing massive set each of 6 to 8 hours each.
We began our journey and learning from our mistakes of last year we have booked all the travel arrangement for all our artists for this year much in advance and as of now we can very happily say that all artists are on schedule and will me making it to the festival this year !!
Well there is so much more to write about but lets keep it for future posts.
Till then spread the good word for Mandala. Cheers.
