CONCEPT
The concept of the Singers and Song Writers Community is to present original songs and provide a platform to independent songwriters to reach out to newer audiences!
Making peace is an key to the meetup as the host Subhrojyoti feels that it is through, songs, and lyrics that you bring change and lasting stability. It happens quietly and with the meetups they may also hold workshops on introduction to some instruments! He feels lets give peace a chance through intimate, intimate meet-ups!
Also, build peace communities of songs around cafes! Stay tuned for upcoming sessions of the songwriters community with RASA AUR DRAMA TIMES!
