Bollyjazz

Bollyjazz is a music project blending Hindi Film music with Jazz. In a time where any experimentation with music, especially Hindi Film music, meant simply remixing popular tunes to club beats, Nikhil Mawkin envisioned an amalgamation of two seemingly different genres: Hindi film music and Jazz. Founded by Nikhil Mawkin in 2011, Bollyjazz revives melodies from Bollywood's Golden Era with Jazz styles like Samba, Bossa Nova, Swing, and Funk. Bollyjazz has performed in festivals and venues around India, Mexico and Thailand like Rendezvous Festival Delhi, Serendipity Arts Festival Goa, Tablu Festival Jaipur, Jaipur Literature Festival, Kamani Auditorium, Akshara Theatre, Agora de la Ciudad in Xalapa, Mexico and JacoJazzy Cafe to mention few.
