Chandigarh, November 4, 2024: The Indian Performing Right Society Ltd. (IPRS) and the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) are thrilled to announce the upcoming Indo-Korean Music Collab Programme, a unique initiative aimed at fostering cultural exchange and creating original cross-cultural music.
Set to take place from November 6th to November 12th, 2024, at the True School of Music, Vijaybhoomi University Campus, Jamrung, Maharashtra, this event will bring together 15 talented artists from India and South Korea to collaborate on songwriting, composition, music production, and creative innovation.
At the heart of this collab is Bunty Bains Productions, led by the renowned music producer and visionary Bunty Bains, who serves as the curator of the Song Camp. Bunty Bains Productions will play a vital role in guiding, training, and inspiring the artists, creating an environment where they can explore each other’s skills, experiences, and cultural backgrounds to craft groundbreaking music.
Commenting on the collab, Bunty Bains, Founder of Bunty Bains Productions, said, “As curators of the Indo-Korean Song Camp, organized by IPRS in association with KOMCA, we at Bunty Bains Productions are thrilled to guide and bring together talented artists from India and Korea. This camp is a unique opportunity for artists to blend their skills and cultural backgrounds, creating fresh, innovative music that bridges two rich musical traditions.”
Rakesh Nigam, CEO of The Indian Performing Right Society, added, “At IPRS, we are dedicated to creating a vibrant platform for music creators, empowering them with global exposure and collaborative opportunities that transcend borders. Our collab with KOMCA through KOLAB is a testament to our commitment to cultural bridging, seamlessly connecting the rich musical traditions of India and Korea.
Furthermore, we stand firm in our mission to protect the rights of artists, ensuring that their creative contributions are recognized and rewarded. Together, we are not just promoting music; we are fostering a thriving, interconnected community of artists.”
Throughout the week, participants will merge their distinctive styles and ideas, infusing Indian rhythms with Korean popular music influences. This fusion of sounds will not only celebrate the rich musical heritage of both countries but will also give birth to new, globally appealing music.
The program will culminate in an exclusive listening session on November 13th in Mumbai, offering industry professionals a first look at the newly created songs and presenting the artists with potential opportunities for broader reach and commercial success.
KOLAB’s vision extends beyond producing original cross-cultural music; it aims to establish enduring collabs between the Indian and Korean music industries.
By fostering relationships throughout the program, KOLAB aspires to create a foundation for ongoing artistic exchange and future creative partnerships, highlighting the international appeal and significance of this initiative.
Through KOLAB, IPRS and KOMCA are paving the way for meaningful cultural exchange, strengthening the growth of independent music, and building a global network of creators that celebrates and sustains both musical legacies while driving innovation in the industry.
