Celebrating India’s Music, Culture & Global Collaborations
Dates: 10th – 12th November 2025
Location: Delhi, India
After a groundbreaking debut, Soundscapes of India (SOI) returns with Season 2, bigger and bolder. An initiative by the Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) in collaboration with MusiConnect India, SOI is India’s first-of-its-kind Global Music Conference and Showcase Festival that celebrates the depth, diversity, and dynamism of Indian music while creating meaningful bridges with the global music industry.
Why SOI Matters
From folk traditions and tribal rhythms to contemporary experimental sounds, India’s music is as vast as its culture. Yet, much of it remains underrepresented on the global stage. SOI seeks to change that—by bringing together artists, international festival directors, cultural institutions, and global delegates, the platform sparks creative exchange, cross-border collaborations, and new opportunities for Indian creators.
What to Expect at SOI – Season 2
- Global Music Conference: Thought-provoking panels and knowledge sessions with international festival programmers, cultural leaders, and industry experts.
- Curated Showcases: Performances across genres, offering global delegates rare access to India’s hidden musical gems.
- Knowledge & Mentorship: Rights management, industry trends, creative workshops, and one-on-one pitching opportunities.
- Collaboration Announcements: New partnerships that connect India’s creators with international platforms and festivals.
The Impact So Far
Season 1 sparked global collaborations and spotlighted stories like Baul Mon (from rural Bengal to South Korea’s Gwangju Busking World Cup) and Tāl Fry (making their international debut at Malaysia’s Rainforest World Music Festival 2025). Season 2 is set to scale new heights, with participation expected from global cultural delegates and festival directors from Spain, Portugal, Poland, Thailand, Egypt, Netherlands, Indonesia, Japan, Estonia, Germany, Canada, South Korea, and beyond.
