The Indian band mixing folk songs, satire and solar power | Swarathma | BBC News India

Swarathma, a folk-rock band from Bengaluru, is blending music with sustainability. In 2024, they launched their “Powered by the Sun” tour, travelling across India with a solar-powered battery to run their concerts. From satirical takes on politicians to soulful ballads about saving rivers, Swarathma proves that art and activism are a powerful combination. In this film, we spend a day with the band as they open up about their music, activism, and solar-powered journey.
