Assam Band Performed in Denmark

Rain in Sahara, a conscious fusion music outfit from the city has recently performed at the prestigious Fair Play Youth Voices, an international social justice music movement, part of the International Anti-Corruption Conference 2018, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference is one of the biggest anti-corruption conferences in the world hosted by Transparency International. Selected internationally from a global competition, Rain in Sahara, which was founded by Lain Heringman, a Spanish development specialist and music producer and also an Assamese son-in-law, focuses on conscious music for change. The outfit comprises Rain Jong (vocals/guitars), Pawan Damai (guitars/vocals), Rajat Bangia (bass/visuals), Majid (drums/visuals), and Lain (producer/keyboards/flutes/vocals).

Their songs range from issues related to anti-corruption, environmental protection, climate change, mob-lynching and violence, greed and injustice, and focuses on youth and all citizens to play an active role in being change makers and protecting the environment for sustainable development for all. Rain in Sahara performed with international acts like Yasiin Bey, and acts from Colombia, Malawi and Liberia. The outfit has tried to spread positive messages through their music; that every person has the ability to chose right over wrong, benevolence over greed, and love over hatred. Small positive action and expressions through music, art and theatre and individual campaigns and positive actions can all have a huge impact to protect human rights, promote transparency and spread love amongst all.
