In partnership with the United States Embassy in Islamabad, Found Sound Nation is launching the ‘Dosti Music Project’, an International music exchange that invites socially engaged musicians from Pakistan, India and the United States to collaborate in the creation of original music, and to develop music-based social enterprises that contribute to peace-building and economic cooperation in the region.
The Dosti Music Project will bring together ten innovative musicians from Pakistan, India, and the United States to take part in a collaboration centered around an immersive U.S.-based residency and tour program. Dosti Fellows will create, record, and perform original music that emphasizes both ancient and contemporary musical connections, both within the subcontinent and the United States. Fellows will also develop Follow-On Projects that harness the power of music to effect positive change in their home communities and encourage continued cross-border economic and cultural exchange.
