Indo-Korean Music Synergy: KOLAB’s Groundbreaking Collaboration for 2024

The Indian Performing Right Society Ltd. (IPRS) and the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) are thrilled to announce the upcoming Indo-Korean Music Collaboration Programme, a one-of-a-kind initiative designed to foster cultural exchange and create original cross-cultural music. Set to take place from November 6th to November 12th, 2024, at the True School of Music, Vijaybhoomi University Campus, Jamrung, Maharashtra, this event will bring together 15 artists, 10 from across India and 5 from South Korea, to collaborate on songwriting, composition, music production, and creative innovation. Blending diverse musical influences, the programme aims to forge lasting artistic and industry connections while introducing fresh, globally appealing music rooted in the rich traditions of both Indian and Korean music.

KOLAB will offer a unique setting for participants to expand their creative horizons through collaborative sessions guided by leading music creators such as Bunty Bains and Mayur Puri who will serve as the Creative Directors. Throughout the week, participants will merge their distinctive styles and ideas, infusing Indian rhythms with Korean popular music influences to create songs that embody the vibrant cultural exchange of both nations. The event will culminate in an exclusive listening session on 13th November in Mumbai, where the newly composed songs will be presented to an audience of industry professionals, offering these artists valuable exposure, feedback, and potential opportunities for broader reach and commercial success.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Rakesh Nigam, CEO of The Indian Performing Right Society, said, “At IPRS, we are dedicated to creating a vibrant platform for music creators, empowering them with global exposure and collaborative opportunities that transcend borders. Our collaboration with KOMCA through KOLAB is a testament to our commitment to cultural bridging, seamlessly connecting the rich musical traditions of India and Korea. Furthermore, we stand firm in our mission to protect the rights of artists, ensuring that their creative contributions are recognized and rewarded. Together, we are not just promoting music; we are fostering a thriving, interconnected community of artists.”

“Vijaybhoomi University is thrilled to host KOLAB — the first-of-its-kind Indo-Korean Songwriting Program—on its scenic & green campus in Jamrung, Maharashtra. Powered by the True School of Music at Vijaybhoomi, this seven-day residency will bring together artists from India and South Korea, providing an inspiring setting for creative expression and cross-cultural collaboration. Organized by the Indian Performing Right Society and the Korean Music Copyright Association, this event signifies a new chapter in the expanding Indian music industry, fostering stronger ties between the two countries through the universal language of music”, said Mr. Vinay Prabhakar, Dean, The True School of Music
