The Yellow Diaries music can be described as the unpredictable experiences a person goes through in his life. TheirΒ lyrics are across multiple languages and theirΒ music covers multiple genres. On the other hand, Euphony is a band which stood out for their unique and entertaining take on music. The USP of the group happens to be their ability to seamlessly fuseΒ vocals with sick beat boxing!
The winning bands are being given an opportunity to perform at the NCPA Experimental Theatre along with a video recording of their performance of their preferred song. The winners are also being awarded with a ticket to the One World Many Musics (OWMM) Festival where they will be able to share space with some of the most established artists in the industry like Shantanu Moitra, Ani Choying, Kaushiki Chakrabarty, Purbayan and Ashwin Srinivasan!
