MD Pallavi’s anthem for intolerance
Live MintViolence can come in many forms for women. Bengaluru-based musician Pallavi M.D.’s latest Kannada single Sahisabekilla Neevu addresses all these forms of violence. “When Nyaaya approached me to compose songs, specifically written and recorded with the purpose of them being nuggets of information about legal rights of citizens and their access to justice, it seemed deeply challenging and at the same time, necessary,” says Pallavi. “The challenge was to package legal jargon into hummable, easy-to-hear-and-understand songs that would also be calls to action.” Sahisabekilla Neevu is the first song in this series called Namma Nade Nyaayada Kade of which the first three are ready, says Pallavi over WhatsApp from Europe, where she is touring across cities with frequent musical collaborator Andi Otto, a German sound artist. Kashmiri rapper Ahmer, whose 2019 debut album Little Kid, Big Dreams, produced by Sez on the Beat, was called “scorching” by Rolling Stone India, is a cult classic among Kashmiri youth.
