The Indian Subcontinent: Five countries. Hundreds of languages and dozens of cultures...and a rich array of musical styles.

The Subcontinental is a series of documentaries that looks behind the scenes of music from the Indian Subcontinent. It features interviews with prominent musicians, dancers, artists, authors and cultural commentators, all mixed in with lots of great music & sound and the production style you may have heard on my previous productions, The Wire & The Nerve (both available here on PRX).
