Song of Soul is attempting to document and record the inside story of folk and tribal music of India, a major part of which still lies undiscovered.The way the new generation of rural and tribal people is loosing interest in keeping their traditional forms alive,the time has come to support them through serious collaborative exchanges,workshops,and shows that can help them to earn and to look at this art form as a promising yet profitable venture,thus making an effort to save this rich variety of musical expressions from becoming extinct.Song of Soul is focussing on folk and tribal dance, drama, music, instruments and related matters, including the extent to which these cultures retain the rituals, beliefs and identity of their ancestors, and how modern technology has impacted their value systems and heritage. , In the past 4 months through different projects the number of folk musician beneficiaries have exceeded more than 400.
