KOCHI: Kochi has encouraged and absorbed global trends in everything movies, fashion, food and music. From gazal to metal, every genre of music has had takers in the artsy ‘Queen of Arabian Sea’. In 2019, when few of the state’s cultural influencers came together to form Kochi Music Foundation, they wanted to give a thrust to the Malayali’s music taste. In December 2020, the foundation orchestrated a revolutionary get-together of few of the state’s best artists through Para – a virtual hip-hop festival.
“Music has always stood with humanity. Hip-hop especially, is a genre that has taught the world to speak up and stand up for themselves. When we thought about what lies ahead for Kochi Music Foundation, we felt the need to go beyond what we have, bring in a progressive outlook and celebrate lesser explored genres including hip hop,” says Bijibal, one of the co-founders of KMF.
Artists from all over Kerala have come together to put the #southsideheat on the map.

Drawing inspiration from the ongoing wave of hip-hop in India, the Kochi Music Foundation released Hiphop Festival 2020 Para .
15-year-old Aditi Nair flexing her vocal gymnastics is just one among the many artists the group has released videos of. The 11 minute-33 second video directed by Aashiq Abu included Aditi s powerful performance with the following songs: E.T.I m.R, Feel Free To Dream, Fake Fact.
You could catch a bit of Cardi B in the first song, while the second song definitely hit home run with inspiration from reggae music. But the Malayalam rap obviously brings its own charm.
