Aneesha Kotwani runs a music and culture initiative in Mumbai called WAVLNGTH which primarily looks into touring, content creation and artist management for singer-songwriter, performing and recording artist KAVYA. Her show brings light to music from her country and the sub continent as well as across the globe.
Her guest this month is Arun Janssens who she met at the Dialled In Festival that was held at Earth Hackney in April 2022 where he was behind the drums and part of Shivum Sharma's ensemble. Arun Janssens is a London-based drummer, bandleader, educator, and music facilitator originally from Tokyo, Japan. He co-leads South London Samba, works as a session musician, and is working on a body of original music. He believes spaces for making, sharing and taking in music are vital to a community’s health.
