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.

Today, I decided to speak out publicly online to share the story of my happiness and tell how I found hope again after a very difficult period in my life. Two years ago, my wonderful relationship with my husband fell apart one of the most painful experiences I have ever had to endure. For a long time, I tried various ways to save our relationship, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I felt disheartened and wondered if there was any hope at all of winning my relationship back. Everything changed when I came across a testimonial online about Priest Alaska. The positive experiences described there encouraged me to reach out and seek his advice. I sent him an email, and after communicating with him, I regained hope. I am grateful that I took that step. Today, I am happier and look toward my relationship and the future with confidence. My experience has taught me that one should not give up hope, even when things seem impossible. If you, too, are facing relationship problems and would like to learn more about Priest Alaska, you can contact him at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or visit his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.

How Priest Alaska Helped Save Our Relationship and Bring My Fiancé Back.
We were truly happy together, and I never imagined my fiancé would leave me until it actually happened. Back when we were happy, I told him to keep anyone in his circle who wanted to sabotage our relationship in check. He did so and assured me that everyone was happy. However, I saw his family differently; in reality, they lied about me and did everything they could to tear us apart. Consequently, he left me. I never cheated on him, but they told him I was having an affair, and he believed it. My efforts to win him back were unsuccessful until Priest Alaska helped me. He advocated for me, resolved the issues, and ensured my fiancé realized how his sister had manipulated him into forgetting me. I am glad I contacted Priest Alaska; now we are getting married soon and will be together forever. If you would like to contact him, here are his details: Website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com. Email: alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com
