What happens
The Dewarists is a part music documentary and part travelogue television series on MTV India. The show casts musicians from various parts of the world, collaborating to create original music while travelling across India. The first season featured a total of ten episodes and featured many musicians, including Imogen Heap, Vishal–Shekhar, Zeb and Haniya, Shantanu Moitra, Swanand Kirkire, Indian Ocean, Mohit Chauhan, Parikrama, Agnee, Shilpa Rao, Shri, Monica Dogra, Rajasthan Roots, Papon, Rabbi Shergill, Shubha Mudgal, Swarathma, MIDIval Punditz, Humble the Poet, Karsh Kale, Baiju Dharmajan, Njeralathu Harigovindan, Raghu Dixit and Rewben Mashangva. The first season was directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy, an ad filmmaker and frontman of the Mumbai Hardcore band, Scribe, with the first five episodes also involving UK filmmakers, Fred and Nick. The show is hosted by actor-singer Monica Dogra. The theme music of The Dewarists was written by Raghu Dixit. In 2013, for the launch of a new season of The Dewarists, the creators of the program altered the format of the show to move away from music-inspired journeys and expanded it to include collaborations between musicians and visual artists from India and around the world. Directed by independent film-maker, Srinivas Sunderrajan, the show was broadcast on MTV India in its new format that merges the visual arts with sound to create a multi-sensory experience. The show was also the first collaborative experience to be simulcast on television and on YouTube. Singer Monica Dogra returned as hostess, and also one of the collaborators on the season premiere of The Dewarists season 3. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
