Lets Folk together- a folk artist relief fundraiser by Believe Entertainment in association with Anahad Foundation – is aimed at conserving India’s folk music heritage and its artists through a digital concert series.

Under the current scenario, the folk music community in India find themselves in an extremely tragic circumstance as they remain in lockdown in remote villages, cut-off from metros and essential supplies is at risk.

While the lockdown in India has had a debilitating impact on businesses, it has spelled doom for the live music industry with over 1000 events being cancelled or postponed over the next few months. The effects of the crisis are being felt by the mainstream as well as independent artists, live concert and event promoters, all of whom are working hard to adapt to the current situation. Ticketing platforms are fast adapting to the situation by creating digital concerts featuring artists performing live from their homes.

Around 20 mainstream and independent, highly talented musicians like Shankar Mahadevan, Amit Trivedi, Vishal Dadlani, Salim Sulaiman, Raghu Dixit, Harbajann Mann, Papon, Mame Khan and others have come together to support the folk artists and their families at this critical time through this folk fund raising initiative by Believe and Anahad. Let’s Folk Together, the digital music series was launched on Friday, 24th April at 9 pm daily until the end of the lockdown on Sunday 3^rd May 2020.  Music artists will perform special concerts from their homes, featuring some of their favourite folk songs. Each artist will do a 15-minute web-episode.
