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.

Nothing is impossible if you truly believe you can achieve it. I have been trying to expand my wine business in my hometown, White Plains. For the past eight years, I had played the lottery in my spare time, but on one blessed day, I came across an article about Priest Alaska’s lottery-winning spell. I contacted Priest Alaska to see if it would work, and after agreeing to his terms and conditions for the work, he used his magical powers on my behalf; he provided the numbers I needed to play, and I followed his instructions. At the store, I discovered that I had won a $123 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain, but I looked again and saw that it was real. My life has taken an extraordinary turn going from nothing to prosperity and I have come to realize that life has a spiritual dimension; with Priest Alaska’s spell, winning the lottery is truly possible. Priest Alaska’s contact details are as follows: email alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or his website https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.

HOW I GOT BACK MY HUSBAND FROM ANOTHER WOMAN WHO HAD A SPELL ON HIM.
I want to appreciate Doctor Vusi +27765871390 for what he has done for me and my family. I was passing through terrible things. The problem started when my husband return back from work and I discovered that his character has changed and few months after he said he is no more interested again in the marriage and I love my husband so much, all my effort to bring my husband back was abortive. I have concluded that my husband will never come back to me again. But I saw people comments on the net about Dr.Vusi how he has helped them in various ways and then my hope of getting my husband back increased and I contacted Dr Vusi about my issue and he said it is a small thing, I should relax my mind that within 48hours my husband will by himself come back home. I never believe Doctor Vusi because I have be hearing about spiritual power but don’t believe that the power work. To my greatest surprise I saw my husband from the window and I rush-out to meet him and he was crying that he never knew what came over him after seeing a lady outside our marriage.

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.
