“Music is a form of expression too. I come from a broken family and have all this angst inside me. Hip-hop is almost always about personal struggles,” shares Daiaphi Lamare aka Reble.

“Alboe sounds different from the ones I have been to. It seems to support a lot of people from the south,” she adds.

Shyamaprasad is planning to make Alboe an annual event. “We wanted to have it last December, in fact, but untimely rains spoiled that plan.”
