When we entered the dark lane leading to the Don Bosco Shelter in Wadala, initially, the silence was numbing, but soon the feeling was replaced with faint sounds of music and applause. Soon, we figured that the applause was coming from the shelter and what we saw when we entered, convinced us to join in the cheering.
Idan Raichel is the pioneer of the Idan Raichel Project, under which he collaborates with artists of different generations, multiple ethnicities and sings in languages as diverse as Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Amharic and Swahili, along with his band. When we entered, he was singing live for boys from the shelter with his uplifting and upbeat music. The kids were delirious with joy and their excitement was evident as they danced enthusiastically till the end of the performance.
