On today&#8217;s search for #MusicMonday, I found a online series that wasn&#8217;t just traveling and highlighting songs of India, it was documenting that beautiful moment when collaborations are made. <a href=\"http:\/\/thedewarists.com\/\"><strong>The Dewarists<\/strong> is eight episodes <\/a>in and I&#8217;m pretty surprised this is the first I&#8217;m hearing about it.<\/p>\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No I.D.

Required. <\/em>If you want to go directly to the song, it&#8217;s at 32:15, though the whole show is beautifully shot and I would recommend watching it fully through. I knew that Humble was traveling India, but I had no idea that he was pairing up with legends like Midival Punditz while there. It&#8217;s so out-of-the-box to put a hip-hop poet with a legendary electronic\/dance duo, but I think it totally worked.<\/p>\n\n<p>The series pairs <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/JvTwd4mTwQs\">Imogen Heap with Vishal-Shekar to sing a Tagore poetic classic in Rajasthan<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/1kI-g4JRPGE\">classical singer Shubha Mudgal with folk rock band Swarathma in Mysore<\/a>; and\u00a0 Karsh Kale travels with guitar virtuoso Baiju Dharmajan in Kerala. Funded by StarWorld, this documentary web series is a brilliant idea and I&#8217;m excited to see what comes out of this project.
