Regular Raag Aur Taal programing is preempted for a live performance and interview with art collective No-Land Bands, presenting "Exodus." From the group's webpage, "Exodus is a different kind of a narration of the fate of those whose threads of existence were ripped apart in the Syrian war. It is an attempt to sense the various absences that the war has marked on the souls of Syrians. In this performance, music aligns itself with words in order to reflect a small part of their stories."
