Composer Vipin Mishra rides to Zanskar Valley with friends to record nomadic music

Composer Vipin Mishra always dreamt of combining his two passions — music and adventure activity. Though he grew up on classic rock bands, over the years, he developed a liking for Indian music. It led him to come up with the docu-series Folkroad, which has Vipin and his team travel to Zanskar Valley in Ladakh in search of nomadic music. Riding his Honda Africa Twin Adventure motorcycles, the composer is joined by actor Satyadeep Mishra and professional photographer Abhay Singh, as they travel on bumpy dirt tracks, stay in freezing tents, visit remote monasteries, witness flashy wedding functions and discover new sounds.

Folkroad was recently premiered at the Red Lorry Film Festival in Mumbai. Says Vipin, “ Two episodes, which represent the basic theme of the series were screened. I plan to release it on YouTube.”
