So with the people above the gym waiting to sing, I ran back to my room to grab mics and stuff. On the way back to my stay I heard a bunch of people cheering and loud drums so i took a left into one of the skinny street lanes and came up on wedding ceremony in progress, the band was nuts, all drums with a keyboard plugged into megaphone on wheels. So I got my stuff and returned and recorded a bunch of groups including this wicked old dude in the picture below who wrote the songs and acted out all the words. Coming to India i thought there was gonna be a majority of Buddist, but in Dharvari it’s pretty obvious that Christianity rules, there’s Jesus paintings and Stickers everywhere. And half the traditional songs i recorded are about Jesus. Anyways, after recording we had lunch which was so great, but what topped it off was my man Muhammad djing the lunch, blasting Vengaboys and Marakhi Dance hits way too loud. I guess from watching other DJ’s, Muhammad picked up about turning the knob’s to fix the EQ etc but he takes it to a new level, if there’s a knob on the mixer he turns it. After lunch he took to see the village’s sound system which is super massive. Koliwada gets down. Also today you can see in the streets that the decorations for Holi are starting to be put up.
