In March 2023, Henry Zavriyev and Rene Arseneau from Great Discovery, Canada, visited Mumbai to film a documentary on the city’s modern music scene. We served as their guides, taking them on a journey that spanned from the shanty lanes of Dharavi to a dance school in Sion, a central-eastern neighborhood. We introduced them to Mumbai through the iconic experience of riding local trains and immersed them in the city’s vibrant beatboxing culture. We connected them with Tash the Beatboxer (Tasheer Khan) and offered them a glimpse into the tradition of opening Roza during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This experience provided them with a comprehensive understanding of Mumbai’s rich cultural tapestry. We’re thrilled to see the final documentary, which captures the essence of Mumbai’s modern hip-hop scene.
