Make the songs and sounds available to all. Not locked away, but shared openly. Let anyone listen, learn, remix, perform. Let these songs travel beyond villages and generations.

The Flying Spirits - Lugum लुगुम

Folk songs say it all. They come from the people and belong to the people. That is what makes them so special. They travel freely and invite everyone to sing along.

The Flying Spirits gather old folk songs into their repertoire and shape them into their own fusion. This piece, Lugum, is one of them. The video offers a glimpse into daily life in Lugum and stands as a tribute to its people and traditions.
