Brooklyn Raga Massive’s Rāginī Festival 2023 edition offers a month-long, cross-oceanic immersion into folk, classical, and contemporary art of the Indies, both East and West. Mangrove Songs is an evening dedicated to illuminating the plurality of the South Asian diaspora and the artistic strains of ‘Coolitude’, a conceptual framework for navigating the complex nature of Indo-Caribbean identity. In Mangrove Songs, themes of nostalgia, separation, and communal memory will be explored in a collaboration between singer Pratima Doobay and drummer Roshni Samlal exploring matrilineal Bhojpuri and Hindi folk songs, the poetry of Shivanee Ramlochan, bass riffs by Liany Mateo, and the visual art of Renluka Maharaj. The concert will be followed by a dance party led by Roshni Samlal aka DJ Raat ki Rani.
