Crossing Borders: How The Raghu Dixit Project became India's biggest folk expert
Twenty-five years after its formation, The Raghu Dixit Project is marking its silver jubilee with its latest single, Amma, a tribute to mothers, and a 2026 international tour spanning Russia, Europe, the UK, the Americas and Australia. The itinerary includes appearances at the Etoetno Festival and London’s Southbank Centre, reaffirming Raghu Dixit’s belief that Indian folk traditions and regional languages belong on the world’s biggest stages.
Raghu Dixit’s journey into music was anything but conventional. A trained Bharatanatyam dancer and microbiology graduate, he first picked up the guitar after accepting a college challenge. While working as a microbiologist in Belgium, an opportunity to perform on local radio convinced him to return to India and pursue music full-time, leading to the formation of The Raghu Dixit Project.
Blending Kannada, Hindi and Tamil lyrics with Indian folk traditions and contemporary arrangements, the band proved that artists performing in regional languages could build global audiences without compromising their identity. Songs like Mysore Se Aayi, Hey Bhagwan, Jag Changa and Parasiva became enduring live favourites.
The band’s debut album, Antaragni – The Fire Within (2010), introduced its distinctive sound and reached No. 1 on the UK iTunes World Music chart. In 2010, an appearance on the BBC’s Later... with Jools Holland brought the band to an international audience, followed by the Best Newcomer award at the Songlines Music Awards in 2011.
The band’s second album, Jag Changa (2013), expanded its global following, while Shakkar (2023) marked the band’s return after a ten-year gap between studio albums with a more reflective body of work exploring love, loss, hope and personal growth. Over the past 25 years, The Raghu Dixit Project has performed more than 2,000 concerts across 36 countries, including for Queen Elizabeth II and the British Royal Family during the 2012 Diamond Jubilee celebrations at Windsor Castle.
A quarter century on, The Raghu Dixit Project remains one of India’s defining independent acts, proving that music rooted in local languages and traditions can resonate with audiences around the world.

MY MIRACULOUS LOTTERY JOURNEY WITH LORD OSAZUWA:
I had almost given up on my lottery dreams. I had played for years but the most I ever won was $20, $70, and $30. I often wondered if I would ever win the Jackpot. One night, while searching online, I came across testimonies from people who testified that Lord Osazuwa had guided them in their lottery journey and he gave them the lottery winning numbers after casting a lottery spell. Their stories gave me hope, so I decided to contact him on WhatsApp: +2347031497107 . I explained how long I had been hoping for a major win. He gave me his guidance and instructions, which I followed carefully. I provided him with his requirement to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the lottery winning numbers, I bought the Powerball ticket for $2 dollars. When I checked my ticket, I was shocked by what I saw. I had won $574,000,000, I was overwhelmed with emotion. This experience is something I will never forget. Lord Osazuwa is a God on Earth and his spell is Active. Contact him for help too via Email: drosazuwaspell@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2347031497107 ….!!

AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. Through AI, I connected with a cryptocurrency trader and lost my hard-earned money in a scam. Had it not been for the help of Priest Alaska recommended to me by my sister-in-law I would not have won the $435 million Mega Millions jackpot. My life could have taken a drastic turn for the worse due to the overwhelming debt I faced after being deceived by those cryptocurrency traders. Priest Alaska used his extraordinary spell casting powers to determine the six perfect numbers needed to win the Mega Millions lottery, and I followed his instructions to play them. I am incredibly grateful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown me; it is truly immeasurable.

I wish the best of luck to everyone reading this comment! Last year, I filed for bankruptcy after several business failures. I used to play the lottery just for fun, but as my financial situation worsened, I sought help to win a major prize; that was when I found a man named Priest Alaska, who has helped countless people around the world with their financial troubles. He cast a powerful spell for me that revealed secret lucky numbers. I played those numbers and, to my surprise, discovered I had won the $209.3 million Powerball jackpot after just 7 months and 14 days exactly as he had predicted. Today, I am debt-free and have various investments around the world. Without Priest Alaska, I would not have overcome the hardships I faced last year. Priest Alaska is truly a divine presence among us. If you are currently facing difficulties in any aspect of your life, contact Priest Alaska using the information below.

I know many people wonder how I secured this lottery win. Would you believe me if I told you I did it with the help of a spell? I met a famous spell caster named Priest Alaska, and he was the one who made it happen for me. As surprising as it was even to me my famous comment to the press was, “I’m going to go crawl into bed now” I never imagined that Priest Alaska would make me rich overnight.
