Get ready to witness a unique music festival that brings together Southeast Asia and India under one beat! The ASEAN-India Music Festival (AIMF) is returning to New Delhi’s historic Purana Qila this November, promising a celebration of culture, unity, and incredible talent from November 29 to December 1, 2024.
This isn’t just any music event. The ASEAN-India Music Festival is designed to showcase the rich, diverse music traditions of both India and the ASEAN countries, blending styles that are as vibrant and varied as the countries themselves. Since its debut in 2017, AIMF has been a powerful platform for cultural exchange, sparking excitement for unique sounds and rhythms that connect these neighboring regions. It’s part of India’s “Act East Policy,” which aims to strengthen connections with ASEAN through meaningful partnerships—and what better way to connect than through music?
Picture this: top artists from both ASEAN and India sharing one stage. This year, some of India’s most popular musicians, like Shaan, Jasleen Royal, Sukriti-Prakriti, and Raghu Dixit, are set to perform. They’ll be joined by bands from Southeast Asia, each bringing their own local flavor and energy to the festival. Though the full lineup of ASEAN artists hasn’t been revealed yet, it’s sure to be a treat for music lovers who enjoy discovering new sounds and styles. After the main event in New Delhi, the festival will make its way to Bangkok, Thailand. More details about the Southeast Asian bands set to perform will be announced soon.
The festival is organized by the Ministry of External Affairs and Seher, an Indian cultural organization known for pulling off top-notch events that celebrate art in all forms—music, dance, theater, and beyond. Seher’s Founder Director, Sanjeev Bhargava, shares that this year’s festival is meant to “take cultural exchange to a new level” with international performances, educational collaborations, and a lineup that keeps fans coming back for more.
Over the years, the festival has become a bridge for cultural exchange, spotlighting a mix of traditional and modern music that celebrates each country’s roots while looking toward the future.
