KALA PHOOL is proud to announce the MI21 UK TOUR 2009. MI21 (Mother India 21st Century Remix) is a live soundtrack performance. The original film Mother India (1957) is a hugely important film in South Asian cinema, known for it’s iconic imagery and powerful storyline: the common shorthand is to reference it as India’s ‘Gone with the wind’ MI21 essentially remixes, re-edits and rescores the original 3 hour film into a 45 minute silent film over which lead artist DJ Tigerstyle has created a contemporary electronic and strings based score. DJ Tigerstyle who is one of the worlds top Turntablist’s is accompanied by – Matt Constantine who plays keyboards and his beautiful electric cello – David Shaw on drums – Josh Ford on visuals. MI21 will be touring across the UK and at a venue near you. Some of the venues will have additional special events alongside the performance including:
