They may not have understood what this old Indian village means in my family lineage, but I wanted to tell them the story and see what they did with it. I got these players because I like what they do and I felt good that they were going to bring the music to life.”

Sunny Jain is a very interesting musician who’s just put out his new record Wild Wild East, an album that investigates immigrants in America through the lens of his parents’ experience. I got to speak to him all about it and The Quietus is the place to go to have a read.
